How many weeks did you go before you were filled? I am 12 weeks out and still no need for a fill losing great and not hungry, so I am curious who else fits into this profile......?

That is great for you!!! I was banded 12/12 and have already had 2 fills and am going to go in for a 3rd in about 2 weeks! Consider yourself lucky!!

My doctor has his patints go in every 6 weeks. My band goes up to 10 cc. Right now I'm at 7.5 cc and I've had 2 fills. So in my next fill he'll give me only .5 cc and then I should be at my sweet spot soon which is somewhere around 7 to 8.5 cc. It depends on the person of course.

I didn't get a fill until 6 months after I was banded. It was then that I started slowing down. I've had another one since.

Surgery was 12/17 and 1st fill was 4 weeks to the day, and I'm scheduled for another one on Feb 18th. I'll keep going back every month until we have the right amount!

You and I were banded around the same time. My date was Nov. 5th. I have not had a fill yet either. Although I see my Dr. on Wed., and I will definately schedule to get one then. I have been happy with my loss so far, but lately I have been fighting my old demons of nightly snacking due to hunger.

      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.
