Anyone just have 1 fill till you were done?



Recommended Posts

right on ladies, I have not wanted or needed a fill and am steadily losing weight, yes I get hungry and when I smell something dilis (like passing MickeyDs) I always say, damn that smells so good, but keep going.

everyday is different for me, theres days were I can eat a normal meal and other days that I'm just not hungry. on those days I make sure I have a Protein drink.

I was scheduled for my first fill 1/30 and after talking with my Doc. it was decided I would wait until next month. I have an appt. 2/28 and at this time, I think I will go another month with no fill.

I like to keep my appts because they get me pumped up to continue my path on exercise and eating well.

I weighed myself yesterday and am down to 248, but will not change my ticker until 2/28 when its official

keep up the good work ladies, dont feel quilty about having no fills, but when needed and if the time comes, get one

I had my band in October 2007. I had 1 fill, of 1.6 cc in November. Nearly choked to death! waaaaaay too tight, so had it all taken out. Ive lost 62 pounds with nothing in. Some days I still feel way too tight & have troubles, but nothing to take out :blush: Not good.

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of your posts. I was banded on 1/23/08 and has my first fill on 3/5/08 2cc's. about 5 days later I started feeling nausea....(as of today it has been 23 days.) on 3/19 the doctore removed the fill. 3/24 I was given the 2 cc's back and it was way too tight he took out 1/2 cc that night I ended up in the er and the 1.5 cc was removed. I do not have any Fluid in my band but I am not losing. I have lost 3 lbs then gained 1.6 back. then yesterday I weighted in and I lost 1 lb. Not sure what is going on and if I can't handle a fill but I'm not losing much what are my options? My doc did give me Protonix 40 mg to try and see if that will rid of the nausea.

Please someone respond and let me know there will be light at the end of this tunnel

If you have a 4cc band I can see 2cc's being too much for you. You should try like .5 maybe?

You could still have some swelling too.

I hope you feel better. Give it some time, you'll start losing again.

      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.
