I had my band on 8-01-08,then 6 weeks later I had a 4cc fill in a 10cc band under fluro,The doctor tried a fill in his office the day before with no success.But with this first fill he said that by port had turned side ways.I have 2 toddlers and did have to left after I had my band. any how I never felt any retriction at all,could eat anything and gained back up to by weight I had lost from before pre-op! So I go in Oct for another fill at the hospital and this time he finds by port had flipped. So I went in for him to flip it back and at that time he seen that the first 4cc fill he thought he gave me never went into the band,So he gave me another 4cc fill while he was in there doing that repair. Now almost 2 weeks 4 days later I can still feel this fill and have lost 15 pounds and go back on the 18th to see if I am ready for another fill or still fine with this one,So if you feel no restriction and gaining I would ask for the doctor to check things out,I waisted 2 1/2 months where I could have been losing.:thumbup:

Ralph, I am also getting ready to start on my pre-op diet and have tried to talk to others that have had it done. A lot of them told me they was allowed to drink sugar free carnation instant breakfast and the high protein slim fast shake for pre and post op. Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!
