Should I have another fill ?



Recommended Posts

My last fill was the beginning of June and now I do have restriction. Not tight but I do need to make sure that I chew really well and stay away from bread. In the morning I am much more restricted.

I will be in Toronto in the end of July should I book another fill ? I am comfortable and can pretty much eat what I want in small amounts . Any sugestions ?

I would say wait and see. I felt great after my 2nd fill but I can already feel that it is getting loose after just one week. See how you feel a little later in the month. You could always ask for just .5 cc's if you think you need it.

It really is a drag for you out of towners. Don't get more if you feel good just because you are here. You may end up in the ER for a defill.

Most times I feel in control, and I feel the band is doing what it is supposed to do. Then I see someone with a pogo, and I have a need to rip it other there hands lol. I can't eat bread, so two bites and I am done. When I lose control the band helps. I really just need to watch the ice cream and whta I mean by that is watch someone else eat it ! LOL

The 3rd fill was good for me. I talked to Nance and she said since I am in Toronto to come in and we will see. I am cool with that !

Hi Donna D. is correct. If you are from out of town, and able to take the fills as scheduled, make sure you don't take too much of a fill each time. I understand with th Fr. Midband, 6 - 8 ccs is the norm but I feel restriction at 3. I will try for 4 next week but as I am from Vancouver, I have too far to go if I made a poor decision. Doddie

I am from Thunder Bay so it can be expensive. I just want to make sure that I need a fill.
