final fill, I hope.



Recommended Posts

I have been tracking my weightloss for the last few weeks really closely. I am at a perfect point if I were are my goal. But I am getting hungery, my head is in the fig at night. So I call Doc Lee and told him I wanted to get in, in the next few days. So today, I am going in to get a fill. How agressive do I go> He is really open to letting me tell him what I think. I have a 10cc ap band. I have 4.5cc in it. I had 1cc in Nov. was my last fill. I want to be at my goal or close to it by the end of may or the first of June. If I can. 38 lbs..... any suggestions?

My doc does .5 cc at a time. That's fairly aggressive after you've gotten restriction. But he also tests it with fluoro to make sure it goes through right.

Good luck on your fill!!! My last one (last week) has been fantastic - it's definitely made me slow down and chew ... or else!

well, I went to the Doc yesterday. He put 1 cc in. SO he said I have roughly 5-6cc in my band. He also told me I may be a little ODC. He thought I was obsessive about my weightloss. This scares me a little. Where to go from here....

      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.
