I dont wont to seem ungrateful BUT????



Recommended Posts

It's not about gratitude. You are paying for your doctor's services' date=' they're not being done out of the goodness of his heart. Going in for help when you need it has nothing to do with being ungrateful and everything to do with being smart and taking care of your self.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be getting another small unfill immediately. It doesn't matter if you have to go in there every day for a week to get to a point you're not too tight. You have to do what's best for you.

Best wishes.[/quote']

So funny you say that I told my doctor I will come here everyday till we get this right

My doctor does the same with 3 days liquids, 3 days mushy and then back to regular. Today is my second day of mushy. I start back Thursday with regular and I never once had a problem after a fill. Some doctors allow real food the next day. I think resting the band and insides for the 6 days is smart.

good luck and feel better. Calling back is better safe than sorry. That is why they get paid and they are there for us.

I work at a doctors office. The best advice I can give a patient is that YOU are your own best health advocate. You are the only one who knows how your body feels, and when something isn't right. Don't ever worry that you are bothering your doctors office! It's our jobs to take care of the patients, even if that means just listening to them. Granted, I don't work in a bariatric office, but I think it's good advice for anyone!

I have been smooth sailing with me fills lap band all that jazz. I got a fill on Friday Nightmare couldn't eat or drink the whole weekend. Throwing up I ate peppermints & juice this weekend. On Friday I weighted in at 216 went back on Monday I weighted in at 206 good but not healthy. I got unfilled not even 1 cc I asked for one 1cc my doctor say no it will be ok when he take this little out. He couldn't have been more wrong I need more out Im still not able to eat a meal not even a small one. I hate to call them again but can't hold anything down this will be my third time there in 7 day but I don't want to keep throwing up. Maybe Ill wait a couple of day to see if it gets better Please weight in no pun intended.

It sounds like you have been looking out for yourself by going in when you needed to. I hope you will call your doctor once again because what you describe sounds bad for your health (as other's have described).

You hired the doctor and pay him to do his job. He's not doing you a "favor" by seeing you!

You have an extremely legitimate concern and you need to call the person who can address it: your doctor.

Im sorry you are miserable, but it sounds fixable and is not a rare thing. People talk about this kind of thing all the time on here.

Take care of YOU!

Useful posts. I had a fill Tuesday and I think I'm still swollen. I was to do 2 days liquid , 2 days purée but I can't get much down still as of today. I can still sip Water and I had 2 cups of tea & half cup of Cappuccino .

I'm going to stay on liquids a couple more days before I start thinking infill.

      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.
