Any July 07 Bandsters not filled yet?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I thought i'd get filled today, but no luck:rolleyes. Doctor says weight is coming off nicely so no fill yet. I go back in two weeks. Problem - I'm getting hungry and have been eating more in the past week than I think I should. I am still losing though. I feel like I'm the only one not filled yet. Anybody else out there banded in July and not filled yet?

Hi Sue

I was banded 7-16 and haven't had a fill yet. I was banded in Mexico and when I tried to make an appt. for a fill with a local doctor, I was informed he was leaving and they didn't have anyone to take his place. So, I got on the phone and called every bariatric surgeon within a 100 mile radius and finally found one. But, he was on vacation so I have to wait until the 21st. I am finding my self eating more and more. And I am getting FRUSTRATED.

Thanks Kirajh. Stinks to being hungry doesn't it! Hope the 21st comes fast. I'm now waiting until the 26th. Hoping it happens then. I guess we should just remember that we didn't put it on overnight and it will take time for it to come off. I hope for both of us that the delay doesn't mean some weight gain. I'm going to keep on walking my butt off (3 - 4 miles per day) and I'm going to bed early so that I don't go to the fridge too many times. Good night and good luck.

Hi, I'm a June Bandster (21st) and still have not been filled yet. Many of my band sisters have had four and I think has had five fills already. I truly think I'm the only one who hasn't had a fill of my group.

I've had one fill so far but I have no restriction. I've gained back all my preop weight loss. It's so frustrating! I have to wait another 2 weeks for another fill.

I was banded July 27, 2007 and just had my first fill last week. Restriction is WAY there, I am still doing liquids after the fill and will continue until who knows. I did try to eat Friday I think and was a no go... so shakes I continue.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
