Wondering If I Want Restriction ??



Recommended Posts

I've had the plication and I am starting to wonder if I will even want to go to my first couple of fills or wait and see if an almost empty band with plication will provide a loss. Those of you that have the plication, did you immediately start to have fills or wait until weight loss slowed ?

I had plication on 6-13-12, down 60 lbs without having a fill and to honest I don't want one right now, my dr says no fills until my weight loss slows down, I do have restrictions..... just meaning I get stuck alot, witch I don't see how with a deflated band, but there is still a band there so i'm scared to death to get a fill at this point!

That's kind of what my Dr said also, yet they will let me have a fill if I want one. I am at week one post op, so of course I have no clue how "full" I'll feel by the time I'm allowed solids, but I have already had such an issue with esophageal spasms that I was actually having trouble drinking on an empty band. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what "stuck" feels like from that, so fills scare me at this point.

I really really really appreciate your feedback, you confirmed exactly what I was thinking/feeling !!!

I didn't have plication but I also didn't have a fill for the first 2-3 months because I was having restriction with just the band in (no fill @ surgery). I am now -86 pounds since surgery (9 months). Get restriction when you need it.

      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?

      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.
