Still very confused



Recommended Posts

I had my band done in France with follow up visits in Bristol which is over a 3 hour drive, does anyone else have this problem with travel, I paid £130 for my first fill is this normal, i have never had an x-ray.

Is there anyone out there in the North West going for fills local to them

I havent lost much weight at all tomorrow I am going to have some Fluid removed but not sure how much, at the moment I have 3mls in and thats to restricting for me, I think I had my fill too soon I didnt give myself time to get use to the band I was in a hurry to get started but its not working for me.

How much should I pay for a de-fill ?? and should I have all 3mls taken out or just 1 or 2 dont know what to do:help::cry:rolleyes

Sorry you are not doing well, but sometimes it takes several fills to hit your sweet spot. I havc 2cc in a 4 cc band and it is working great for now. As i lose i will need another fill. Are you eating right and drinking lots of Water? ?? The water is very ,very important. So is exercise. Best of luck. Donna

Zelda,

What you paid for a fill, sounds right. I don't pay anything for a de fill. You may only need .2 or .5 removed. I would wait 30 min, before I left the dr. office to make sure. good luck

Hi there,

I pay £90 for a fill in London. It costs me £130 to have a fluro fill in Belgium. You can also have them with the same company as I have them with. I had my surgery with EOC in February 2007 have just got back from having a scond surgery as my port detatched from tubing, so I will be having another fill soon. 3mls doesnt sound that much. Do you have a 10 ml band or a 4 ml band?

anyway, £90 is good in the UK.

      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.
