Gaining after revision surgery - help

[hockeymother 178]

Hi. I had surgery on Oct 15th to fix my slipped band. Dr unfilled me to 1 cc at surgery. Finally went for my first fill and got .5 cc. Felt nothing. since surgery I've gained 15 pounds. My mind is really taking control cause I feel like this is a last chance to eat foods I can't when the band is filled. So, I requested another fill and received another 1 cc for a total 2.5. But it's been 4 days and still no restriction and still get hungry before the 4 hour mark. I'm starting to worry there is something wrong with my band.

Everyone is different....my first fill was 4cc's, which did absolutely nothing....I actually started to gain weight between that fill and the next....2nd fill was 2 cc's for a total of 6,...that helped a little but took a third fill to get me to the Green Zone.

And yet, there are people who have never had a fill and are doing just fine.....

The weird thing is; at the original surgery in May 2013, I started out with 2 cc and lost 60 lbs. but because the band slipped i had to have surgery in oct/14 to get it fixed and start over. I'm at 2.5 with absolutely nothing happening. I was expecting it to be the same as the first time.

I am so nervous, my band slipped and am schedule to reposition it in February but am now second guessing my decision and wondering whether I should go for the sleeve instead. I am so nervous because I am unfilled for a while and gained so much weight already and if it will take me six months from surgery to reach restriction I will be so miserable...

Yes Liz, that could happen. It's been so different for me this time around. First time I reached green zone right off the bat with 2 cc's. Stayed at my perfect weight for over a year until I had a few terrible stuck episodes that caused my band to slip. My reposition surgery was beginning of October, and I am now at 4.5 cc's. No restriction, hungry after 2-3 hours. I have gained 15 lbs and I am so terrified that ill keep gaining. I'm going for another fill in January so I'm hoping that'll at least start something.
