Confusion In First Fill Time



Recommended Posts

Hey all- my surgeon said people get filled after 6-8 weeks but when I called the fill center to schedule a fill, they said they do it after two months. That seems like a long time. :(

Eight weeks is two months. Every surgeon is different. I think my first fill was at six weeks

I know eight weeks is two months, but one person said i could have it done at six weeks and one said eight weeks. I would prefee to go at six weeks but the fill center will not do it until eight weeks. I was just trying to find out if that was common. Thank you!

My surgery was on 6/5 and my 1st fill was 5weeks later and was given5cc in a 10cc band my doctor had me drink a cup of Water and wait a few minutes later I started sliming and he took 1cc out and then everything felt all right a little tightness though. I started losing weight slowly for the next month about 1lb a week and my next fill he added 1cc to make a total of 5cc's I lost about 10 lbs in 11 days it was crazy probably too much but I feel fine but have lot of restriction. The truth for the first time I have to be very careful what I eat and drink.

      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.
