I got a fill about three weeks ago and don't know if it was overfill. Symptoms are sore throat perhaps from regurg. Throwing up a lot but can eat normally sometimes. Not hungry except for night snacking. I can eat more than a cup of food. I just can't tell if its careless eating or too tight. It took me a while for restriction. I have 12.5 in a 14 band. I am losing very slow. Just 33 lbs from oct. should I call my doctor? He only is in on Fridays.

My doctor gave me a prescrip because my mind is racing every night and I can't sleep. I must say it works. No problems because I'm banded.

No I'm 5 months in

Thanks for input

Thanks for the info. That comercial is always on. How much does it cost??

Just wondering. If your blood sugar is normal and ac1 ok are you still considered diabetic?

I eat Wendy's chili. Also wine is a good choice but limit yourself to 1 glass if you can

What does band being on the tight side actually mean. Is there any kind of pain when eating? I assume you are not in red zone.

Since I have a large band it is taking a lot of fills for me. I would ask your doctor to see you every 2 weeks to get ball rolling . My doctor said there is no reason to wait do long for a fill after the 6 week healing time

I bet you are so happy. What a great job. I am banded since oct and my 18 year old daughter got banded jan

Went to my support meeting and it was refreshing to hear doctors support lap over sleeve and bypass even though it is less money for him and more follow up. In his experience he said since it is adjustable it will work long term . His patients are healthier and actually did not support sleeve at all. It made me feel good since I was on the fence and am not in green zone yet. Just thought since most doctors push other surgeries this was good to hear . Also he is very successful and has done a lot of wls. He said his wife has it!

Don't leave b-52. I love your posts and learned so much.

I have 2 friends to this day lie about gastric bypass being done . All of a sudden they lost all this weight . My one friend said she had her gall bladder out. I felt betrayed because we always struggled being fat together. I was banded and when I start losing weight I'm going to say I had my gall bladder out just like you!

I expect the band to do the work not me! I expect this very expensive surgery would take my hunger away and give me Portion Control. I didn't think I would have to think so much and plan so much . Also I am uncomfortable when I do eat sometimes. It is early 4 months so I'm hoping this band will kick in. I am frustrated right now. Did not have a good day

Yes it is normal to feel the way you are feeling. It will take a few months for fills to kick in

Nothing he said just go easy that day. Also doesn' t have strict preop just 2 days clear and then after soft foods on 5th day. He has been banding a while and no one has problems

I can't private message anyone. I don't know why. Is there anyway to fix it?

B-52 wow did you say it all! It's a tool installed that hasn't been activated yet! Now I understand. I did research this for 2 years! I wanted to do this first to support daughter who is getting it in jan. I honestly did not understand that it could take 6 months. at least now I can guide her better when in her first months. But I don't want to be obsessed with weighing and measuring . That's what I did in the past. That's not what I thought I had to do.
