Still alive and well in Orange City, FL....going today to see if I need an unfill.....have lost 16lbs in 14days as can't keep much down! Figured 2 wks was a good try to see if the band loosened a bit and it's not!!!

God Bless,

My dr believes in "not wasting your money" ....so the first fill was 2.4cc....they removed 1.8cc....then on July 5th they put in 3cc....I drank 4 sm glasses of Water....on the way home took a sip and promptly vomitted all over myself....called them drove back 50mi and he used flouro and removed 0.1cc....I truly did 4 days of liquids as instructed then slowly went forth....but I vomit almost every day at lunch....can't drink til around 10:30am or it gets stuck....at least cold stuff....then can only eat around 3 or 4 bites for lunch....usually stuck by then....then dinner just depends.... more days than not I can only eat about1/4 cup?! I thought it would lessen and tried not to complain..but it's stressed my husband as he's watched and worried!!! LIke I said LOVE the weight loss... .but this isn't the way ...and I don't want slippage from too tight....I'm thinking if they remove maybe 0.4cc I should be great!! We shall see....

Thanks for asking and caring!!

God Bless,

Hi, Im Angie..I live in Northern Virginia about 20 min outside of DC. I live with my bf and 1/2 the time with his 2 boys. I have a porky bulldog named Tyson who takes care of the need for my own children. I am an assistant property manager for 7 commercial office buildings in Reston, VA. My surgery is August 9th. I weigh 288, am 5'8 and will be 31 in December. My fantasy goal is 164 but would be ok with 185..so somewhere in between. Been fat since birth, so have a lot to look forward to. I have a degree in Pastry and cooking so that didnt help! "Never trust a skinny chef" was always my motto..not anymore dammit! Its taken a year to get approved through insurance..bastards..but at least that parts done!

Well....I'm checking in!! Believe it or not he did NOT unfill me!!?!?! He used flouro and the liquid went through in less than 1 sec....I watched!!! He was great and listened to my details...then walked me over to another doc and we all three discussed what to do! I am on liquids another 2 wks and then he wants to see me....the only negative is driving 105mi each way....and drinking liquids!! We think that since I have thrown up almost every day....lost 17lbs in 14days....then I have just kept irritating myself!? Made sense too me.....I told him I just didn't want to cause my band to be displaced! He said he believed I would be fine especially since I do well w/ liquids later in the day. I am not dehydrated. There are risks w/ putting a needle in the port. I truly feel good long as I'm not arfing/pb'ing, etc!!

There is such a learning curve w/ this band stuff!! The biggest blessing was he didn't charge me today!!! YIPPEEE!!! I must pay him as he did not do my surgery b/c I used to live in TN.

Thank you so much for caring!!!!

GOd Bless,

Melody

      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.
