First Fill In A Long Time



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have not had a full in 18 months. I'm 3 years post op and lost 80 pounds but have gained back 18. I'm nervous about feeling tight again. I have like 9cc's out of my 10. I wonder if I'll be done after this???

I did hear that over time the Fluid in a band can dissipate a little so u may not have quite as much as u think u have, If u do have 9cc i would think it unlikely they will give u another fill if your band is only a 10cc one....

If you know how u gaianed some of that weight back then u stand a good chance of getting rid of it agaian and keeping it off ... :)

Thanks for the response :) I hope some of it went away! Because it's weird that I'm so full at 9cc's but wanting another fill...

I'm surprised you have 9cc in a 10cc band in the first place.

I read somewhere in a medical journal at work that the band is designed to only be filled 80-85% of it's max capacity.

But who knows...I hear all sorts of things on these boards so nthing surprises me here....

I have heard of people filling past capacity. Which to me sounds scary as hell. I would have your doctor check your current level. It is possible some fill has left the building after a few years. 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.
