First fill this Thursday!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm happy to see that more Canucks are posting and really happy to see some headway made in the Canadian Forum!

Just thought I'd share that I'm getting my first fill in 2 more days. I'm not nervous about the procedure at all. I'm really looking forward to it and hope that it won't take me long to feel some restriction and start seeing the scale move again. I've been super "good" and exercising like a mad woman but the scale doesn't move as much as I would like. I think it might be the evil PCOS! But I am losing inches so I'm trying not to worry too much about the # on the scale!

Everyone keep up the good work.

:)

Hey Yoda,

A western Canadian here. Good luck with your fill. I see my Dr this Friday for the first time since my surgery. I hope to book my first fill for the first week of July. I really don't feel l have much of restriction now. Do you know what kind of band you have.

Go Oilers!!!

Thanks Argon, I hope I can book my fill!

I found out that I have the 11cc Vanguard band and that they will put 4cc in on the first fill. Does this sound right?:)

Hi AMF101! I was banded in Toronto on April 24'06 and am due for my first fill on Monday. They told me that I can expect 4 to 5 cc fill. A little nervous. Soooooo, I think that sounds about right to me.

      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.
