Hi Tres Chic: No I wanted my first fill to be in TO but couldn't affort the tickent until now. Will be on Monday, will have the first fill April 24 at 1:30 pm. I do have some restriction with the mid band but suspect I need a bit more. How has your fills been. Doddie

Update: My 3rd fill was Apr 18th. I can only eat about 500 cals (max) per day now, and 225 of them are a Protein Shake in the morning. I think I'm too restricted (although on the up-side, I've lost 4 lbs in 4 days since the fill). Based on previous fill experiences, the restriction seems to wear off a little after about 10 days, so I'm trying to tough it out for 10 days to see what happens, before rushing to get a defill. In the meantime, I'm becoming very familiar with PBing and sliming!

Tres Chic: Oh boy... You don't want to live with that too long! Stick to what you said, and if it's not better by then, for sure go get a little out!

And no, I haven't, but... quoting mayoclinic.com,

"Mineral depletion: Too little potassium, Calcium or magnesium in your diet can contribute to leg cramps."

Are you taking your Multivitamin?

I AM NOW!!! (I just took some right after I read your message, and "No", I had slipped in the Vitamens department). Thanks for replying Aargon. You've been at this a while, so I appreciate the benefit of your experience.

I am glad they were able to do it, but when you travel by plane nown you do expect to have an apt. I would have had a melt down if they could not do it !

Well , the lady who did the fill was very nice and had no idea what could of happened but told me not to worry she would do the fill and let them know on monday. I would have only lost my mind if she could not do it.

I dug out the comfirmation email of the apt and sent it back to them asking about my apt. I do not like the Idea that I can book a fill, confirm it,fly down and they do not bother to show up and had no idea that I had an apt ! What the hell is that all about !

Yes , she said sorry it was her mistake.

I think next time I will call and talk to her in person to confirm the Apt. The lady who was there was very nice, and I did not want to spit the dummy on her , as she said she would do me right away , and was very nice about it.

This was my 2nd fill. the first they put in 5cc and tookout 1cc. The 2nd fill, they put in 2 cc and took out .5cc. This is going to sound very childish but why can't I keep Water down with the normal fill ? There was about 6 women in my first fill group and only one other person needed a defill.

      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.
