Ok so im a little confused. I found out i had a leak last week and my doctor tried the thicker solution called omniplaque or something anywho, she put it up to 3cc in a 3cc band.

Was fine till the next day when i swelled so i got some out which took me down to 2.7cc's which was great till the swelling went down and i need another fill. So today i went in to get one and she measured what was in the band and i had 3.1cc's in there!

How freakin weird is that...and before you ask she checks the amount in the band each time because of the leak. Anyone else heard of this?:confused2:

I recently had to get a total unfill and both my surgeon and I knew there was 7.5mls in there (he even had it in his computer as that).....when he took it out, there was 8mls.....he just couldn't explain it.

wow, that is so weird. Hope it was nothing too serious that caused your unfill!

I think we must have some kinda phantom fill bands...they fill themselves lmao

Ahhh yeah I was having bad reflux, vomited a few times in one night and ended up with a slight slip. The slip is now fixed after being unfilled, refilled a little and then unfilled again after a serious bout of gastro. Now I have 3mls in my 10ml band. It was scary at the time because I thought I might mose my band or the slip wouldn't fix itself, but it shocked me back to being the good bandster I should be.

Who knows why there was more in our bands - maybe some one else will have some insight into why it happens!

      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.
