2nd fill and...Nothing?

[Arkgl01 0]

Got my 2nd fill on tuesday and I can still eat alot! I have about .4 the frirst fill and 1/3 this time making a total 1.7 put in my band now and the doctor said I should be full pretty quick and its not happening. My wife says I should go back next week for another fill but its still sore from the last time. I am following the rules,eating right and exercising.

Anyone else had this happen?

should I worry?

it took me about 4-5 fillls, 2.5 cc's total, before I really felt the restriction. And sometimes, you don't really feel your fill till a week or two later.

I agree. I have 2.25 right now and not near enough restriction. Today is the first day since surgery that I've eat too much and I eat 4 little halloween candy bars. Yes you seen it right 4. I could kick my big fat ass, and somebody ought too. Pay 10,000.00 for surgery and have paid for 2 fills so far, I'm freaking retarded. I hate myself right now and I ought too. I have an appointment for Tuesday next week. What is some of you guys ideal of how much I should get put in. He usually asks me how much I want.

mysherrijo, How many candy bars would you have eaten before surgery? Probably more than 4 (after all if they are Halloween bars they are small right:confused: ).Don't be so hard on yourself! You've lost 36 lbs in 2 months??:clap2: That's beyond awesome!! Would you have done that on your own? I say keep up the good work and enjoy a couple of candy bars now and then. Don't completely deprive yourself.

As for fills, BE CAREFUL, I thought I was too loose so I added .5 and have been miserable for a week.:faint: Went back today and got .2 removed. My doc said I was lucky I didn't slip my band or dilate my pouch.

Hey Laura,

Yes they were the small ones but I knew better. It's the first time I've done that and it's not even T.O.M. How does your 3.2 fill feel? I have 2.25 and am going Tuesday for another fill and I'm sure he'll probably go to 3.0. I was just curious do you have good restriction now.

I knew when I bought those stupid candy bars I would do this, but your right, tomorrow is another day and I'll just have to do better tomorrow.

Hope you having a great week.

my fills took a week to kick in, give it time. ..if no restriction after 2 weeks give your Dr. a call. Many doctors will not give another fill until you have waited 2 weeks between fills.
