Frustrated with my (lack of) fills..



Recommended Posts

Mee tooo!

My surgeon wont do more than she wants too I have done ok since I had the band In mid May, However just had my second fill and feel no restriction I just had the second fill last Friday.

I too am beginning to get real discouraged with the whole thing.

I walk 3 miles every night and am working hard for the weight loss.

Then I think I could have done this on my own because I am not getting restriction.

My first fill was late to begin with due to my surgeon just being careful so there for I was 9 weeks out from surgery before I got my first fill!

Then on the first fill she put .5 cc's in my 4 cc band noooo restriction so last week I tell her that and ask how much are you giving me today?

.5 again and at that she said you arent changing my mind!

so then I ask what if I feel no restriction and she says she will give me another fill in 3 weeks. Well then I go to schedule the appointment before leaving and welllaaaaa she is on vacation then so I have to wait 4 in a half weeks again!

Ok I know I am ranting but we all paid alot of money for this insurance or not.

We did this to help us loose and when do the Dr's listen to us after all it is our body we know when we arent restricted. I can eat quite a bit and have to be careful its terrible.

Her answer to that is well you knew goin gin to this it is only about a pound a week,Yup whatever!

sometimes I get so frustrated. I am thinking of finding another Dr. I like mine ok but she is just too lax on the fills. to date I have lost 35 lbs and feel I should be 10 lbs ahead of that. Am I wrong or what?

Ok thanks for letting me vent let me know what you all think.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
