Less restriction than before the fill



Recommended Posts

I just had my 9th fill yesterday. I had some restriction but thought it wasn't enough because I was not losing much. So, I had the fill. Now I have less restriction than I had before. Actually, I don't have any restriction feeling at all. I am scared that something is wrong like a leak or I have stretched my pouch. But since I had some restriction before the fill I don't think it could be stretched. Help! Has anyone had this happen to them?

I never have any restriction after a fill. For some reason it usually takes my body about 3 weeks to feel the fill. I think what my doc is doing is removing all the Fluid at the time of the fill and then puts it all back it with a little more. My last fill was on 3/3 and I couldn't even tell I had the band until 3/20. No I think I'm way too tight.

i have the exact same problem right now. i cant wait to see the responses you get.

nessa- my doc does the same thing in regards to pulling out the Fluid in the band before adding the new amount. is that to make sure its all there? funny thing, i have never thought to ask him.

I go to the doc tomorrow. I will let you know what the results are. The nurse practitioner to draw all of the Fluid out and then put it and more back in.

      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.
