Gigi_Girl 77 Posted May 4, 2012 My leaky band was unfilled as I wait for insurance approval for revisional surgery to sleeve. Now for some reason I can't get full and I stay hungery. Is it psychological because I know I was unfilled? Or is it just stress eating due to being anxious? I know the band still gives me some restriction without the Fluid, but it is like I felt before I got the band in 2008. I was unfilled on April 18. Insurance company received my doc's request for revision on May 1. I am not a patient person. Gigi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mz Need da Sleeve 17 Posted May 4, 2012 I am in the same boat. All the way unfolded. Waiting on this last thing to submit to the insurance company. Did you have to get another psych evaluation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gigi_Girl 77 Posted May 4, 2012 I will need a two week liquid diet and they asked what medications I am taking, but have not been told anything else as of now. I have jumped thru so many hoops in the past, I won't be surprised if they add to the "to do" list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbgrl 119 Posted May 4, 2012 When they took the Fluid out of my band. I could eat more and was hungrier. I think it's only natural we can eat more without as much restriction. I just tried to eat healthy as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mz Need da Sleeve 17 Posted May 4, 2012 I need to do a one week liquid diet before surgery. Everything else is done and ready to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwannabslim 67 Posted May 5, 2012 My band isn't even completely unfilled, and I feel like I starving all of the time. They took out .5cc about a month ago. I have gained about 5 pounds since then. I am not sure when I will be unfilled, if at all... Just got word of approval for revision, but haven't gotten the official letter so I can't schedule yet...

2bHotGirl 3 Posted May 5, 2012 I had all of my saline taken out in mid December. I gained 30lbs before my sleeve on March 28th. The head hunger is what killed me and still is. Its like I eat cause I can vs because I'm actually hungry. food is my addiction. Ugh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
