How many fills did you get in the first 6 months?



Recommended Posts

I was banded in August of this year. I got my third fill a few weeks ago. I have no restriction and the surgeon said he'd do my next fill in 3 months!!

I'm calling today to see if he will reconsider. I'd like another fill next week. I'm currently at 5.5 cc's in a 10 cc band.

I was banded on 8/13/10. I had my first fill at like 4 weeks out 4CC, second 3 weeks later 2 CC, third 2 1/2 weeks after that 1 cc. I have an appointment for a fourth in 2 days (last was about a month ago). I had limited restriction after last fill for a couple days but that went away. Were you experiencing significant restriction after your last fill. If so the doctor may feel you are at restriction. If this is not true I would definately talk to them about a fill. Three months seems like a lot to me. I know this is a marathon not a race; but I do feel frustrated like I am on a very strick diet but not loosing very fast. I way all my Protein. I was actually loosing faster presurgery on my own high protein, low fat, low carb diet.

I had restriction after my first fill but that went away.

I called and they got me in for next week. I'm hoping that will help.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
