It's not uncommon for people to need multiple fills before having adequate Fluid in their band. It usually takes months for this happen because the band is typically filled slowly.

So, be patient. It will come but it will take time to reach that point. In the meantime, stick to your daily calorie allowance, make sure your meals are a cup or less of food, and make sure to get in all your Protein. (plus Protein keeps you satisfied longer)

Best wishes

Like Missy says, until you get adequate fills, it's just another diet. I'm right there with you. I've had one fill and hopefully getting another next week. Hang in there, once you get enough fills the band will help you along, but it does take time.

Thanks so much ladies for helping me out. I have been doing my Protein first and counting my calories. I made a appointment to go see my LapBand Dr Next Wednesday the 23 of this month. He said that I need a adjustment some saline added. So I have a week to go! While I continue to do as he and you all instructed me to do.. Much love everyone

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
