Long time between fills...question



Recommended Posts

:help: Hi everyone. It has been 18mths since my last fill. Since then I have had a baby but no fill removed (3cc). I started gaining slowly about a year ago but then I was pregnant so didn't get a fill.

I have a little restriction(only in terms of not eating dry meats or fresh bread but not in amount of food I consume) I have forgotten what its like to have proper restriction and know when to stop. I am gaining again from emotional eating and am hoping that a fill will put a stop to that. What do you think?

I am not making really bad choices of food, just too much. I seem to never feel full and satisfied, its like not being banded at all.

:phanvan I am getting really upset about gaining, it is really starting to get to me. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

IMO I think you need to continue to make the good food choices and get a fill :) Sounds to me that it maight be time, What does your Dr say? Has it been 18 months since you have seen your Dr?

I think its about time for me to get another small fill too...Just dont have the 175.00 yet lol

Thanks for your reply. I saw my doctor last October but didn't have a fill because I was pregnant.

Hopefully will see him in a couple of weeks. He told me to come back 6wks post baby birth, which is next week.:biggrin1:

I am sure glad I am in Australia! (I am assuming you are not...)My fills only cost me AUD$85 and I get about $57 of that back through our health system, PLUS because of where I am living I also get flown to my surgeon by our health system.(This doesn't apply if you live in a regular town or city though..)

Only you know if you truly need a fill. But IMHO it sounds like your ready for one. I never really knew what restriction was until my last fill WHOOOT love it. Good Luck and congrats on the baby :)

      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.
