RoseyRose 1 Posted February 5, 2016 Hey Guys, I just had my surgery on 2/1/2016 and i can honestly say its going Great! i noticed that i can have more than 2oz per serving. I'm currently on Clear liquid diet, i should drink 2oz every 20 minutes. Which includes, Water, Protein Shake, clear broth, Jello, Decaf tea and coffee. My follow up appointment is on 2/8/2016. But i can actually drink about 6-8 ounces and get full but not to the point of wanting to vomit. I hope my Band is not to big. Has thing happened to anyone else?

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted February 5, 2016 You've had no adjustments, as your band is in its infancy. It's loose. First adjustment is usually at about six weeks, but that can vary from one surgeon to another. For now, drink and eat, when it's time, in the amounts and on the schedule prescribed by yours. You're fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lamulatona 17 Posted February 21, 2016 Oh ok I was also band not too long ago , I have 3 days already , was wondering bout my first fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted February 21, 2016 My first fill was 4 weeks after surgery, and was 4cc's....between my first fill and my second fill I began to gain weight. Everything I had lost from the pre-surgery and the post surgery diet regime... It took me a few months and a few good fills before I could tell the band was doing anything. (and that brought on another set of challenges - lessons to learn) So it is a process, not an instant thing as it is with other weight loss surgeries.

kimkw 7 Posted February 24, 2016 Everyone varies on what their band can hold without issues, from what I have understood. Good luck Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
