I had a fill ....



Recommended Posts

I went back to my Drs today and told him I went off my reflux tablets and the reflux has all but gone. He weighed me and I am up another kg since last week...he decided I needed a fill based on me being able to eat bread and I couldnt before...wierd I know.

Anyway he put in half a mil and I now have 10.1 mls in a 10 ml band...scary thought. I really hope I get the rest of my weight off with this fill. My fills usually take a week or so to kick in so I will have to wait and see. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions in my previous post.

Hi - I'm new to this board, and just saw Anwyn's message. I also had a band slip (December) and had it repositioned. I have a 4cc band, and am currently at 1.7cc's which is actually more than I tolerated with my original surgery. My new surgeon figures I was living with a slip for about 4-5 months. So I too am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I lost 50 lbs from the first surgery. Then I gained back 12 lbs. Now I've lost 8 of those. So I'm nearing my original weight loss. I need to get off my duff and exercise. I was much better at doing that before. Good luck!

      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.
