I can speak from experience. I was banded on March 9, 2009 where then several months later I got to a sweet spot, I had 7 cc in my 10 cc band. At this point, I hadn't had a fill since Feb. 2011. And that fill was so dinky, I'd even hardly call it a fill was like .2ccs. Well, little less than a month ago I was having issues to the point where I couldn't keep much of anything down except for crap. So a month ago, went to the doctors and they took out 3 cc at that time. During this time I was on liquids for 2 weeks then solids the other two and of course gained 7 lbs, because I had no restriction at all even though had 4 ccs in the band. In the meantime, the following week after the unfill, I had to have my gallbladder taken out and this was the root of most of my evil. So yesterday, I went back for a fill. I knew I was going to gain, because after the unfill everything went through the band and I felt zero restriction. So went back yesterday and got 2.5 put back in plus added 8 lbs. I'm feeling very sore and my port area is bruised (never like this before.) I am frustrated, sore, disappointed that I have gained in all of these years, and my husband points out how fat I've gotten by saying I need to lose weight. So how do I get myself out of this rut! Anyone else who have had the band this long go through this?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
