Help! I need advice on my second fill.



Recommended Posts

I am going to see my surgeon today. I was banded on 1/26 and this appt. is

for my second fill. I wonder if I should have one. Last time he inserted 2 cc's in a 10 cc band. What a difference this made! I had definite restriction on quantities and types of foods. I would say I must have pb'd 3 times a week during the first two weeks post-fill. It was my adjustment to my adjustment period. During the last week, I have only had one issue and that was because the meat was too dry, I was tired and ate too quickly.

Anyway, is it typical to get a second fill so soon? I am still able to eat a decent amount of food, slowly, chewed well. I would say I can still eat about 5-6 oz of Protein and at least that amount of starch/vegetable.

I have read several postings that indicate they can only eat 5 - 6 bites at a sitting and then have to stop. Is that the restriction I should be looking for?

I hate to think that an additional fill may make me pb again! I suppose I will just get used to being more restricted?

Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks. Karen
