I had my lap band surgery on March 29, 2007. On April 27, 2007, I had my first adjustment. The problem is I still feel hungry. My ability to eat bread has significantly decreased but its every thing else that is posing a problem for me! I'm thinking I need another adjustment...am I right???:help:

I could get one every 2 weeks as needed BUT, every single fill I've ever had has taken anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to fully become effective. Let me give you an example. I've had 6 fills to get to 3 cc's in my 4cc's band. My last fill was 5 weeks ago. Up until 1 1/2 weeks ago I could eat solid Proteins up to about 1/2 cup, perfect right? Well, now, 5 weeks after my fill it's fully kicked in and I'm having to go tomorrow for a slight unfill. So, it may take yours 2 weeks as well. I would give it a little bit of time and let your esophagus and stoma and everything get use to it and if in a couple of weeks you still need some I would get a little more. This is imho only though. Good luck.

I had 6mls for my first fill. I only have 2 fills included within the package price I paid for surgery. I can eat more now than when I first had my fill done. I think I might need a fill but the hospital keep telling me to leave it another month. Are you eating the right amount of food? I'm eating around 1200 calories a day now as my dietician recommended me too. She mad me keep a food diary and said she wasn't surprised I was hungry as I wasn't eating enough.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
