Recommended Posts

O.K. I went for my last fill a month ago and got 1 cc for a total of 4 in my 10cc band....The next day it was all good,but the following night I keep frothing which is what I call the slimy stuff I bring up when something is stuck...Well it lasted all night to the point of me waking up choking and while I didn't know it I was 2 tight and choking on my own spit...I had heard of this happening so I went for 1/2 cc unfill whcih helped immediately....I think he took more than 1/2 cc out cuz it feels like it did b-4 my fill....Well now I don't know what to do cuz I am eating too much but am scared of being 2 tight....If was 2 tight before shouldn't I be at my sweet spot now????? I never want to feel loike that again but yet I want to start losing again....I am betwween 25 and 30 lb. loss....:( Let me know what yalls;s experience has been....

I had a simulary situation. Onmy third fill it was to tight so I had most of it taken out, since then it's been strange. I have good days and bad days with my eating, but I seem to be consistantly loosing. Once you have lost enough weight to make the band to loose you will be ready for a tightening, If you think you need a fill just get a small one. Even though I have lost 12lbs since my last appointment I still don't need a fill since I have restriction. I go to see my doctor in another month and I am still not sure I will need a fill then. Keep positive, and you will get there.

I hear ya - just when I think maybe I am able to eat too much food...then I have another day where I don't want to eat hardly anything....so as long as I am still loosing the doc said not to worry about coming back for a fill. (which is fine by me as it costs me a co pay every time I walk thru his doors) I hate the sliming, tho...it happens to me once in awhile, too.

      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.
