Was anyone banded in December of '06?



Recommended Posts

I think all the young people who are getting their bands are really lucky. I wish I had known about this years ago.

I was banded in december and I'm down over 70 lbs.

My last fill was 3 weeks ago and I was overfilled I've lost 14 lbs is 3 weeks. I'm miserable. I can't wait to get it readjusted. I have another 20 lbs to go and I'm confident I could do it with less fill. I've been out of town since my last fill, but I'm flying back to NY Friday to go to my dr to get an unfil. I've been taking acid reflux medicine, I've tried papaya juice and meat tenderizer, and I'm having problems keeping fluids down during the day. I just cant wait to get a slight unfill and guzzle some Water.< /p>

I'll check in after I get my fill adjusted this week. I'm also going off a medication so I'm hoping that will help things.

I'll let you all know in a week or two how things are going. :rose:

Today I went from 2.2cc to 1.6cc in my band. I was getting so frustrated and mentally drained from not being able to eat. I couldn't even eat Soup at lunch. I thought it was all part of the tigher earlier in the day thing.

But, after having an unfill (she wanted to completely unfill me but I said I was too scared for that) and finally being able to eat lunch at a restaurant without running to the bathroom I am so happy. And I still only ate a little bit.

Finding the right fill is a crazy process.

So, two steps in my starting fresh are under way.

I hope to start step 3 (consistent exercise) tomorrow.

I will keep you all updated.

An overfill is absolutely miserable, eh? You don't really lose all that well with an overfill either. When you are just right you lose well.

Congrats on the exercise too!!

If you can't eat in the daytime, it doesn't sound like you need more of a fill. Are you exercising?

Yay! I am so happy for you!! Are you going to keep eating the way you have been so you don't gain or are you going to start eating a more varied diet?

Thanks, Ladies!

I'm really relieved. I wasn't sure this day would ever come.

I have a Tummy Tuck scheduled for 12/3 and I think I might want to lose another 10 pounds or so. Plastic surgeon said not to lose more than that or I'll be sorry because my face will look like a shriveled up old hag. Okay, those weren't the surgeon's words but that's what I heard. :)

So nope, not changing eating habits for a little bit yet. Although it was tempting to go buy a huge chocolate cake today but then I remembered, I've changed my ways! HA! So I'm sipping on my Chocolate/Raspberry Protein shake right now. But I'm going to give it a bit of a break for a week or two anyway and have some fun! At least my obsession with weight loss can come to an end!

      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?

      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.
