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.

Hi, please add me! chandam721 -
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 :-)

Congrats!! Take it easy. Wow 11 pounds with the pre op is awesome! What was your pre op diet?
-
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.
-
My surgery included fills for the first year. I need to check if and how much my insurance will cover after that!
-
Ok thanks!
-
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!

Has anyone used Mederma for their scars?

What have you guys put on your scars? Has anyone tried Mederma?

I do feel like I cant catch my breath sometimes. It reminds me of when I was pregnant and I didnt have much room lol
-
Yes I sure did! I registered online so they will send me permanent one.
-
Oh and I forgot to mention that I lost 14 pounds after a week of the pre op liquid diet!
-
I was banded this morning and I am so excited. Im not feeling much pain or gas so that is good! Everything went really fast! When I got home and looked into the box my band came in I noticed they included a picture of my stomach with the band. Very cool to have

Hi! Im so glad I found this board. I am having my surgery this Thursday I have seen many people mention "The green zone". Can you tell me what it is or where I can find more info on it?
-
Im on an all liquid diet until my surgery on Thursday and it has made me realize how many food commercials there are! I also noticed how much everyone at work talks about food! It has been really hard!
-
Thank you! I am a little nervous about how long it will take me to get in the green zone. From my understanding it will be about 5 to 6 weeks before I get my first fill. Is that correct?
