How far were you out when you got your first fill? They told me 12 weeks or longer if I can continue to lose (which is what I am hoping for, the less fills the better). -

Are you pre-band? Is there any way you can switch surgeons? -

I am fighting the urge to weigh-in every day because of this reason. From what I understand it is totally normal. -
Congrats! I was banded and plicated and had some pain for a few days but by day 4 post-op didn't even feel like I had surgery FYI when you are in the hospital they keep you pretty doped up that you sleep most of the time. Be sure to ask for your pain meds when you feel you need them and take it easy as you are healing. This journey is exciting so get ready!

How Many Oz Of Meat Can U Eat?
ilikebunnies replied to f1stborn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am suppose to eat 2-4 oz and have been averaging around 2 however I just had surgery on the 30th -
Well I have a work conference scheduled at that time in Orlando so I HAD to Disneyworld I will let you know how it goes. We have a quick service meal plan so it will be interesting to see what I can tolerate. I don't plan on getting any fills until AFTER the trip so I will be relying on plication alone until then, wish me luck

Not uneducated...it's rather new! Plication is when the surgeon folds the stomach and double sutures it then puts the band on and sutures that. It gives a sleeve effect so you can loose more faster and prevents the band from slipping. It also reduces the fills you need. There are no long term studies done on it here in the US so I am kind of a guinea pig -

My surgeon/asst surgeon and hospital fees amounted to $2350. I have insurance so I am not sure how much that differs with self-pay. When was your surgery? Always glad to meet another plicated pal -
I am officially on the banded side! I had surgery last week and can't believe I am already 13 lbs down! I also feel like I never even had surgery.
-
That is super exciting and I have to say I am a Disney nut too We are going to DW in Ocotober and I am so excited!
-
That's amazing look at all the weight you have lost!

I am so happy to hear everyone is doing so well! I have surgery on Monday and I am excited/nervous! Since I am an out-of -town patient I am leaving tonight to visit family and eat at favorite places. I can't believe the time is here after such a long journey. Send me good thoughts! -
