First Fill....No Restriction Felt



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I went last Friday the 13th for my first fill. They told me I have the larger band which holds 9cc. They put 4cc in and I still don't feel any restriction. My next appointment is February 16th. Should I call my doc and ask to come sooner? I'm not loosing and am getting so depressed.

I went in for my first fill on Monday and they also did 4CC's I too have no restriction. I don't think you should worry though it sometimes takes a few fills to get it right for your body. I have no patience so it makes it hard for me to sit back and wait. I have another fill in a week. Hopefully that does the trick.

Good Luck!

I had my first fill yesterday and it has made a difference not in restriction or not being able to eat anything in particular but it's just completely cut the hunger and interest in food again.

I would be happy to wait till 16 Feb though, you dont want to suddenly end up overfilled.

Thanks,

I just wish I was full like after surgery after 1/2 lean cuisine.

I think I will wait, I am going to join weight watchers tomorrow hopefully that will help.

My doc won't give me a fill... hopefully when he see's I haven't lost since december he will. Hang in there some times the fills kick in later on. I'm scheduled to see my doc feb 3rd and I'm really really frustrated b/c I have 0 restriction.... good things to those who wait uuuuh lolol.

I called and got an earlier appointment after my first "no help at all restriction-wise" fill. He did the 2nd fill 2 weeks after the 1st fill and then another a week later. I still don't have alot of restriction, but I "have" to wait a month after the 3rd fill. See him again next week and I'm hoping the fourth one is the charm.

      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.
