Drove 11 hours round trip for fill today



Recommended Posts

Usually I stay for a night or two to make sure everything is okay but tonight I felt so good I thought I would get my fill and turn right around and drive the 5 1/2 hours home.

I had gained 9 pounds last month the week of flo and couldn't loose it. It was the first gain since surgery so I weighted and I had lost that 9 and 4 more for a total of 13, I was so proud. I still got a fill, I was at 2.7cc's and luckily it was all still there and he ask me how much Iwanted and I said take me to 3 cc's. I have the 4 ccs band but didn't know until tonight it was the mini, low profile band. I really feel this one will do it because I already had good restriction but I still need to loose 50 pounds so maybe this will jump start it.

Dr. Curry is the greatest. I got there almost 2 hours early and they took me back within 5 min. and the fill took 2 min. and didn't feel a thing. If anyone is ever looking for a fill doctor who will also do Mexican patients as a I am he is the one.

Beachgirl, I love hearing stories like this. I remember when I had gained 8 lbs too. A fill helped me as well. Congrats on your weight loss. I can tell you are totally committed due to the fact that you have to drive so far. Congrats and keep up the good work. Julie

      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.
