Less restriction after 2nd fill then the 1st fill



Recommended Posts

Has anyone felt less restriction after their 2nd fill then they did after the 1st one? I actually feel like they took out some of the fill... My first one was 4 cc and then just last week I got 2 more cc's. This is really frustrating... I was so excited to get my 2nd fill thinking it was going to really make a difference and then nothing...

When you went in for your fill, did they first remove all of the previous fill? It is important that they do that in order to make sure you do not have a leak.

Also, bands are fickle creatures. I would get a fill, and sometimes it would take up to two weeks before I would notice the difference. Many others have said they experienced the same thing.

It seems that as soon as you go off the liquids after a fill for three days and go back to food...the weight you lost while on liquids just comes back on... It's very frustrating. :biggrin:

I don't know if they removed the first fill... I can tell you when I got my first one, Water girggled at lot...it was tight but it felt great again... this fill, I drank Water and nothing, i was even able to take large sips and by the time I got back to work I was able to down a bottle of water in no time, just like before the band.

Now you have me wondering if there is a leak... I will call the Dr. and see what they say.

Thanks

      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.
