I had my band done Aug. 24th 05, and have done real well. I went for my 5th fill, I have a 9.75/4cc band. When thd Dr. went to do the fill, he didn't hold pressure on the needle and it didn't go in. Then he did it again, and it didn't fill like usual. You know how you get the pressure feeling when they enter the port, well, now it is like I have no restriction. What do you think might have happened? I called the office and he does not come back until the 4th. So I am going to see what he says. Has anyone ever had this happen. I can eat anything, before I couldn't even eat scrambled eggs. I'm am so upset. In just 1 week, I've already gained 4bls. back. Please give me some imput!!!!!!

Good for you, Michelle!! I am not at all surprised that you haven't gained weight back. It was obvious to me even before you had your erosion that you had worked out the "head" issues that cause obesity.

Best of luck to you! Bet you will continue to lose once you start training.

You go girl and I know you will reach your goal in no time. Thanks for the support of all of us newer bandsters. You inspire more than you know! May your new year be filled with all the things you ever dreamed!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
