It has officially been six months since my surgery And I have yet to Feel restriction I thought it was because they were only giving me .1 mL every time I went in But on this last bill I talked her into giving me a half a cc She looked astonished and said it would not take it all Which is weird because I only should have 4 mL in my 10 Cc band. So she decided to check to see how much Fluid was in there and she could not get anything out. Acted like that was normal and sent me on my way. That does not seem normal to me especially since I am not feeling any restriction . Has anyone ever came across this problem?

Thats very odd. If she could not get any Fluid out, then she should have sent you in for an xray. Did you ask if there was a problem? Have you tried calling the doctors office for advise?

No Fluid came out of my tubing either and the Doc did give me an xray and founf there was a "bend" in the tubing and thought it may move and rectify itself.

However, although he didn't panic....he did seem concerned that if it didn't rectify itself...he would need to go back in and do it. He was concerned enough.

I would talk more to your surgeon about this.

Good luck!

I would definitely call Doctor about that. The Fluid had to go somewhere.

Thank you guys! Come to find out the nurse was hit and miss its a long story but they finally actually located my port which apparently is in a tuff spot or turned or something and gave me a good fill! I now have 6.5 cc in my 10 cc band and for my first time ever I feel totally restricted it was a long 5 months of no loosing but I am already making up for it! Since the fill I have lost 6 lb which was 3 days ago! So excited! Did anyone else take this long to finally get to your sweet spot? I'm curious?

      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.
