Recommended Posts

HI, I got my second fill today...he only added .5 cc to me. When I left his office I was fine, half way home we had to pull to the side of the road because I had to slime. Now I have this pain in my chest like I have something stuck...I have not had anything since I left my dr. So it has to be my own saliva. I know that you experience some swelling for the first day when you get a fill but is it suppose to be this uncomfortable?

Thanks for your input in advance.

Call your doctor in the morning for sure if you don't feel better. My band was about a half of CC to full for me, and I just went along with it to see if it would get better. It never did. I eventually had gotten sick so many times, one day my stomach swelled shut, and I couldn't eat or drink anything. And being that I was under 18, my mom had to go to the doctor with me, which is really far and she just started a new job. So, I waited 36 hours before calling my doctor and didn't have anything in my system. I couldn't even drive I was so dililrious.

Short answer, call your doctor. :]

Yea good to hear you are ok because that kind of thing can cause band slippage and erosion and all kind of bad things that would cause them to remove your band.

keep up the good work and KIT cause I love to hear about progress :]

      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.
