fills not working yet...next week is third



Recommended Posts

It took me 6 fills and a total of 10.4cc in my 14cc band to feel restriction, so hang in there :rolleyes2:

Hello, I was banded on 2/13/2009, my first fill was on 3/13/2009...and I can not feel a difference! This is my first time seeing this web site but it makes me feel a little better to know that others are having the same issue. I have a 14cc band, and currently have 6cc in my band. I have ONLY lost 13 lbs in 2 months. :rolleyes2:

I'm in the same boat, but now it is hard for me to get a fill. My doc had to do mine at the hospital under fluoro (at a charge of $450, which now the hospital is trying to charge me $1000 for!). I had no more restriction from it and am now eating more because I'm depressed about the band not working! Also worried that my fill in his office next week won't work because he said that my port is tilted and moves when he tries to inject the saline. Urrggh! Just frustrated!

I was wondering! Now I dont feel so bad... Jan 09 band and only 15 lbs gone. 2nd fill 2 weeks ago and nothing yet. I feel little if no restriction. I dont crush pills or worry about any foods in particular. I was beginning to wonder if the thing came undone or what!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
