I had my first fill, which was only .5 CCs, two weeks ago and I feel like I can eat more now than I did before! I have a total of 4.5 CCs now. Has anyone had this problem? I'm very discouraged
My surgeons office filed everything with no issues. Dont worry, I had a bmi of 41 with no health issues so you should be approved. They didn't even ask me for any weight loss attempts or weight history.
I have BCBS of California and my paperwork was submited on a Thursday and I received approval the next Monday!! I was surprised at how fast the process was.
The thickest I have eaten (last night) were grits and that seemed to stick with me. I made sure that they were made kind of soupy and I didn't have any digestion problems :-)
I was banded on 3-15-12 and went back to work today. I also had my post op visit today. They told me they put 4cc's in my band during surgery. My next fill date is 4/16/12. Im feeling great and dont have much pain at all! I am having some hunger pains but hopefully as I start eating more solid foods it will help.
Hey Kelly! I was banded on March 15th too! I have had a pretty easy time but I have been taking my pain meds. Getting in and out of bed is a challenge! What type of diet does your doctor have you on?
I was banded on Thursday and I'm feeling pretty good. I went to my sons soccer game this morning and went shopping this afternoon. I have a lot of gurgling in my stomach lol. I can't tell if its gas or hunger. I just feel like I have done 1000 situps. I would love to have a "buddy" that was banded around the same time as me so we can follow each others progress!
