Question Bandster Family??????

About when do you get your first fill and then the second and so on?

[Shannon28 26]

I get one every month for the first three months, and then 1 every three months unless needed sooner. My doctor won't let you get more than 1 per month. I'm on my second fill so far and I am getting quite a bit of restriction.

I get my first one six weeks after augury. My doctor said to get a fill once a month to help with the consistent weight loss.

Oh yeah I'm so exited I go Wednesday to check incisions and maybe get out on mushies. But I've already lost 25 lbs from pre diet and this week. This is great so far I'm scared to go through banister hell as everyone calls it.

Don't worry about Bandster hell! I don't consider that I have gone through it and was banded in 08. The worst part was right after I had surgery, then again after I had a fill a few weeks ago where I thought.. what did I do?

I got over that right away, and frankly do not want to be without the band. I have PB on Occassion since I got the recent fill, but never before.

I have found that feeling sad or mourning food choices is the worst of it for me, but I think about how fast I started to feel better and any negative thoughts go away.

I think alot has to do with the way your looking at it. There is little you cannot have in moderation when you think about it, take it one day at a time.

You will find that when you go to bed you will wake up wondering what subtle changes your body has done... at least that is how I think about it.. think of the NSV... not all of it is on the scale!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I am looking forward to it. Surgery date is July 10,2012

Lol banister I meant banster and thanks for the advice! I'm so looking forward to seeing how I do in the future. It will be a challenge I'm sure.
