Another fill



Recommended Posts

Well hello everybody , I trust you are all well and preparations are going good for the Christmas festivities.

On Friday i went in for my second fill. Another 1 cc , with the previous 2 cc in my @ 10 cc band.

All went well this time and i made sure i was comfortablly able to swallow this time before i left the clinic.

Now i am begining to feel the benefit of the band, i actually feel full ,Well sort off .It,s not the old feeling full ,sick ,cant fit anything else in feeling in my stomach.

This is a feeling of fullness in my throat type sensation.So i guess i just have to train that sensation to my brain to say that,s enough .

Any way , Best Wishes to you all Mark.:eek:

Hi Mark,

Just curious, did you loose any weight? I have 5cc in my 10cc band and due for a fill on the 9th of Jan. I can definitely eat too much in the evening!

Cheers Rose:)

I'm glad to hear you're feeling satisfied with the 3 cc. I have a 10cc band too and I go for my first fill on 12/29. Dr says he fills 3cc the first time and waits to see how I do before he does anymore fills. Hopefully I'll feel as good as you. Happy holidays

I went for my 2nd fill yesterday. I had no restriction whatsoever and was starting to gain. Anyway, he unfilled me (I guess he always does that before a new fill) and I only had .5cc in my 4 cc band. He said he put over .75 in at the last fill and is not sure what happened to the rest???????

He put 1.5 in yesterday and honestly I don't feel a bit different. Some people say it takes a few days to feel a fill? I can't imagine why that is.

Hi friends, Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Well here i am nearly 2 weeks later and i can say i have no change in the way i feel full after eating ,i,m still the same old pigger me.

Except now i really have to chew and be careful because anything bigger than a multi Vitamin will block my stomac, i know this because if i dont drink first and " lube up " the multi will become very uncomfortable and just sit there for ever.

Mark:)

Talk to you all in the New Year.

      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.
