I am a rare case, according to my nutritionist :) I only had the band, no plication. I have also had no fills. My doc told me I have some Fluid in the band from the surgery, but he doesn't know how much. He is amazed by my success. I don't know who grins bigger during my appointments. All that said...my weight loss is slowing down, my appetite is picking up and I am expecting my first fill either this month or next. And, I am NOT stressing out about it.

However, on this forum, I am not so rare. There are others like me :)

Sillyaunt... wonderful weight loss!!! How many cc's do you have in your band and is your band with plication?

I had five cc in my band when it was installed. I have had one adjustment, had 1/2 cc put in and I am pretty much in my green zone and happy as a clam. I kind of wish I had known about plication, before I had my surgery as it sounds intriguing. Ah well, I'm doing fine as is. :)

Banded 7/1/13 down 87 lbs. Have about 60 more to get to goal but I'll get there :) I work out 5-6 days a week. I have changed so much inside and out and all for the better (although some may disagree bc now I take even less crap then I did ore band lol )

Hi there :) I was banded on 03/24/11 and am down 146 pounds. I lost 145 slowly and without any excersize whatsoever, because I am lazy. My body has refused to lose anymore without it so I finally began excersizing a few days ago and already feel better. I feel like I have got to reach the 150 mark by my 3 year bandiversary. Good luck to you with whatever WLS you choose.

      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.
