3rd Fill and Feel Like I did Before being Banded!!



Recommended Posts

I had my 3rd fill four weeks ago tomorrow. I didn't notice any difference at first like I did with my other fills so I have given it several weeks since many say they have a delayed reaction. Well now I am hungry all the time!! I was doing so great and really loved the band. Even my doctor was impressed with how well I was losing. Now since this last fill I am hungry and just want to eat all the time. I've increased my Protein to make sure I'm getting enough to rule out that being an issue. Has anyone experienced this?? Should I call my doctor back? I'm telling ya'll, I feel like I don't even have a band anymore. What's the deal?? I would really appreciate anyone's help!

Leak maybe? Weightloss can too cause your band to loosen unexpectedly. I'd talk to your surgeon.

I'm not a doctor but I wonder if you've recently lost weight around the stomach and now the band is looser. My doctor allows fills after 3 weeks. I would go back in for another fill. I did not start to get restriction until 10CC's may need a smidgen more. So I am not shocked that you don't have resctriction after only 3 fills. I think I've had 8.

      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.
