Third Times A Charm, Finally Got Filled!!!! May Have A Tilted Port.
Brown Kameleon posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
So I finally got my first fill today (3cc), this was the third attempt. It appears the hematoma has healed. BUT, she had trouble with finding the center of the port. She thinks it may be tilted, it's def not flipped. I go back in 2 weeks. -
First Fill Today

Congrats on your first fill? Why did he wait 3 months? Were you loing during that time and how did you feel? Good luck and much success! -
I'm with the others, I haven't received my first fill yet (not by choice, that's another story). My doc requires 2 days of liquids and 2 days of mushies after a fill. Check with your docs office or the paperwork they gave you.

I have the realize too, my surgeon uses both. I chose the realize band because the port size is smaller than that of the lapband. My surgeon asked if I plan on getting a tummy tuck. I told him it was possible, he recommended the realize band because of it's size and the size of my stomach. The lapband is larger and normally used for larger people. Also, the realize band has been around the longest worldwide (created in Europe) where the lapband has the most longevity in the US.

Funny Weight Loss Moment!
Brown Kameleon replied to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That is too funny yet oh so wonderful for you!!! Splurge a little, at least on the underwear... I do understand not wanting to spend the money. My mom hasn't pulled out her sewing machie in awhile. I told her she will have to take in some of my pants. Perhaps the only new thing I will by for awhile are bras and panties. Again, WONDERFUL!!!! -
Ok so didn't get my first fill again today. Hematoma is improving, the NP wanted me to come back in a week but I told her lets make it 2 weeks. I did lose another 3lbs!! Woohoo!!!!

What Is This ???
Brown Kameleon replied to Tband5195's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It might be gas, try gas x strips. If the pressure doesn't go away after that then call your doc. For me, even 3 weeks after surgery I had gas and bloating where I couldn't burp. It was horrible. Now I can't stop burping. -

I can't wait to get into the 100's... I don't care if the scale reads 199.9... I just want to get there. It has been waaaayyyyy too long.

Feeling Full/satisfied
Brown Kameleon replied to shap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a learning process and everyone is different. It's kind of weird but I feel it in my chest first. That's my signal to spit that bite out. Today I ignored that single now I'm sitting here feeling miserable. But I'm getting ready to walk in hopes of getting relief. You will get there and know when it's time to stop without over king it.
