Recommended Posts

How many times we have to go through this? I had banded 2009 and since then i am in constant every 3 or 4 months go for fill or unfill? I am about to give up. I fill 1 cc i get stuck, remove it i can eat easily and keep on gaining weight. Is it normal? Anyone else goes through this up and down? Sometimes i feel shame going back for fill or unfill. Please advise me. I have gained 20lb back. And it is making me depress. Pls help if you can??

Twice in 2 yrs

It is the same with me. I've had 1 successful fill since 2010.I have this nagging feeling My Dr. is over filling me. Just to get more money from me. I've gained 40 pounds minus $800.00.

I was at 7.5 in my 10cc band then went up to 9.5 cc and very tight. I could not eat more than 10 bites and was throwing up and slime all the time. I had a 2.5 cc unfill and now cannot feel restriction. I changed doctors and gain 10 lbs this year 2014. I am not happy and not in my green zone and hungry all the time. Once you feel that spot of not being hungry and not throwing up your THERE~

      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.
