Lap Band Fills / Adjustment Info

[Missy0224 6]

Go to the doctor and get a fill. It takes different people a different amount of fills. You will know when you are at your sweet spot.

Thank you so much for this link!! I was struggling with my last fill (during this whole process our health insurance changed companies and now NOTHING is covered, so I tend to really hold off going to the Dr.)

I realized I need behavior and attitude adjustments! Funny how old, bad habits so easily creep back in----

When do u get your very first fill? Is it after u wake up from surgery? Or is it while u still under? TY

Is anyone on here from Perth ,WA

I thought fills are included in the price of the surgery. Has anybody stop getting fill and gained their weight back.

My fill was 400.00 1cc second fill in 2 years

I pay $300.00 a fill. Mine weren't included with the surgery.

What is PBing?

[BJean 16]

PB stands for PUKING/BARFING

some people night say "productive burp" but don't believe 'em.

hahaha - I agree - puking and barfing in my case too.

Got my 3rd fill Thursday - only .4cc for a total of 6.4 cc - I think I found the "sweet spot"

Yipeeee!

A lot of people get free fills for one year. I sometimes wonder if that's why some docs space them out to two months apart since there is no financial incentive to keep filling you when you want. You will know in a week or two at the most if youre good or need more fill!

I think some people use the term productive burp because it sounds loud but mine I call a yak and its quiet so I think I could do it under a restaurant table and no one would know...havent done that yet but I never leave home without a ziploc bag!

I love this post. I just got banded, but I think reading that website will squash any excuses I may have in the future! Seems like a lot of people find ways to make this not work.
