First Lap Band Fill - No Restriction



Recommended Posts

Should i be worried! i had my first fill on 11/07/11, 6.cc no restriction, I phoned the doctor the following day about my concern, I retuned on 11/09/11 recieved another fill total of 8cc, with little restriction. I only have a 10cc band, I was told after surgery my first fill would have to be large due to the amont of space i had in between my band and stomach.

I really don't know what to say. You seem to have 14ccs in a 10cc band? I would think you'd be a little tight, but now that

I've reread your post, I think you meant to say 8 and .6 for a total of 8.6cc. I'd say you are approaching your ideal fill.

I'd say go for another .5cc and see what that does for you. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it if you would keep us up to date

on your progress. TIA

& It's okay. Go for another fill. You can get a fill up to 10 ccs, sometimes plus more because whatever can fit in the port tubing! You'll find your restriction! Good luck

      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.
