    hi surgery was 5/5/15 i had 3 fills 1ml, 2ml, .5ml so 3.5 total. i stopped getting fills when the school year started because I'm so bus. i feel like I'm in the red zone in the am, and it is worse when i'm on my period and now that i have a cold. mid day i feel like i'm in the green but sometimes at night i can eat a lot. I'm down about 24lbs, not near goal at all. not sure what I'm going to do now

    HELLO GREEN ZONE! Okay guys I went to see the PA yesterday and told him I do not want to do 1ml at a time. We agreed on 2ml so I now have 3ml in a 11ml band and I just threw up. Oh shit! I need to do my research and figure out how to work this thing!

    fills

    Hello, how are you guys doing?

    Oh gosh hope41! These ppl are getting like 4ml fills!!! What should we do? Do you think the doc's are taking advantage to get more visits out of us to make more money?

    sharpie, do you have to be so rude in your response??

    I have all the stuff to do my own fill and seriously want to do it! my PA will only put in 1ml at a time and the office keeps calling to change my apt to schedule it out longer. no wonder that DR said it only helps 50% of the people, maybe it would be higher if he would keep up on his band maintenance!! anybody else do their own fills?

    To tell or not to tell

    I told only the bestie that got gastric bypass at the same time, my boyfriend, because he was my ride to the hospital lol, and 2 other close friends. people are to judgmental and have no idea what the band is and don't care to know before they put their 2 cents in.

    I am feeling very discouraged and impatient!! I have only had one fill of 1ml and my doctor will only see me monthly and will only give me 1ml at a time. I am seriously thinking about filling my band myself, has anyone ever done it?

    Breastfeeding

    45678 replied to LillyPadMom's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery

    Hi, I was banded a month ago, and bf my 2yr old. I don't have much advise but the preop diet didn't effect my supply much. Just focus on your fluids, that is the only thing that effects my supply

    I had my first fill of 1ml, it made no difference what so ever and my doctor doesn't want me to go back for another fill for a month. I didn't like that at all! I do not want to have to wait for several months to get to the green zone.

    Failing at my pre-op diet

    I had surgery a few days ago and just realized that my port is 2 inches above my navel! I told the doc right before surgery that I wanted it closer to my ribs. I plan to get pregnant in a year or so, so I hope this doesn't get in the way! also I hope it is not visible after i loose weight!

    How to deal with carb flu?

    45678 replied to 45678's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    it gets so much better! I'm 2 weeks in. that taste is from anesthesia by the time you read this it will be gone

    im kinda hungry but the carb flu and Brain fog is killing me. my baby fell out of the grocery cart today onto the floor and I feel so guilty. help! i want this low carb diet to be permanent!
  18. 45678
    I'm assuming it is the port because the hard lump is next to the 3in scar, the other 4 are very small. but I do hope you are right kate p! I'm so glad to hear that it can be relocated because i would not want it to interfere with a growing uterus! Thank you

    I'm on day 5 of the pre-op diet. I totally messed up day 1 and 3, I hate the brain fog! now tomorrow is the liquid day-before diet and I feel like such a failure! I hope all goes well and my liver is small enough
