7Mos. No Fill



Recommended Posts

Wow I'm flabbergastered, fills are part of the lapband process. Sure some people are lucky enough to not need any BUT fills are part of the whole process to remove that constant hunger and to help you eat less, why in the hell would you have gone through having the lapband put into place if they don't understand you will need fills.

Sheesh you might as well go out and buy a car and say ok I have the car but I don't need the gas to put into it to make it work.

Hope your new team are better educated with how the lapband works, best wishes to you.

You know this new journey can be stressful enough on us without having an incompetent care team.

I'm familiar with the area since I'm from Stockton. How about dr Woodbury in Santa Rosa or docs in Chico?

The hospital isn't who give you fills. Why are you not making appt with the drs office directly? I'm confused too because ucdavis is the best around. I have a friend who works there in that department I think. She's like a big shot. If you pm me the docs info I could find out more for you.

When you need the lap band fills it does not depend of the time it depends of how much weight you loose and usually you are foing to loose 6 to 12 pounds a month but some months you will loose weight and others only reduce the sizes in case that you have two months and you don't see any difference in your body is when you need the fill.

How about stay the same up and down for two mths then gaining the next two mths like 10lbs and I feel the diff I'm watching wat I eat also

Maybe you can get a new doctor? This just seems so odd! Like you said... Why get lap band if you're not going to use it?

You took the words right out of my mouth!! Find a new more supportive Bariatrics' Team.

      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.
