pk3207 1 Posted September 10, 2015 I read somewhere that doctors have you drink a certain amount of Water before leaving the office. Does anyone know bout this?As of right now, I haven't been able to drink anything more that 600mL in 2 days. Im going to the doctor today and would like to know how to gauge the un-fill.

Bandista 7,466 Posted September 10, 2015 My doctor has me drink a cup of Water before leaving the office to make sure there are no difficulties swallowing. Some people have their fills done under fluoroscopy so the doctor can see exactly what is going on. I love that idea but don't have that option where I live. The link below in my signature helped me understand that the band is all about dimming the appetite, not about restriction. I am always able to drink -- I glug down bottles of water and drink a lot of iced tea. Sometimes first thing in the morning an iced cold drink can be a little funny. Be sure to tell your doctor everything so you get your band nuanced just the way you want it. For me, the signal for satiety comes along with chewing and swallowing. When I'm really mindful of that then I get that signal and know my band is working perfectly even when I'm not always perfect. Good luck and let us know how you're doing!
