I located this thread because I was looking for other Sarnia lapbanders.
They perform alot of Lap Band surgeries at the Bluewater Clinic.
I was banded in June 07. I have lost 30 lbs thus far.
I've had 4 fills. I have just now hit my sweet spot. I'm hoping the pounds start coming off a little easier now.
I had my 4th fill on Saturday afternoon.
I was told to be on liquids the rest of the day. (which I did)
I could immediately tell the difference. I had trouble getting the liquid down. I did it... but it took a while.
Sunday I advanced to having some chili. I could only have about 6 or 7 bites.
For Snacks I could only eat half a yogurt
Same thing is going on today.
I tried having Soup for dinner but couldn't even eat a cup.
I have had such a hard time getting the restriction I want (need) thus far.
Is this the way it's supposed to be?
I'm hesitant to get unfilled because I'm afraid of not enough restriction.
Sorry to be a pain.... just looking for help before I decide what to do.
(also...I seem to have the flu right now... could that make me tighter too?)
Thanks guys!!
