Dont expect to much to soon though. I dnt want to be aa downer but I also have type 2 and out of the 3 meds I take I have only benn able to get rid of one so far. I am hoping it "goes away"

Funny that you say that , I had never heard that before but I was hungrier after my first fill. This second one has been really noticeable.

My doc said a cup is too much, hence the reason for another fill. I cant eat a cup full now. Just remeber that all docs are different:smile2:

I am currenly at 219 Thank you

Can I be updated?? Current weight is 219

You are welcome, are you working out? I am and I have found that I am hungrier too so my doc told me to make sure I am still hitting 1200 calories of food and to make up what I am burning off.

I had tricare prime south and it was a piece of cake!! Well no more cake for me:):biggrin:

Dont let it get to you. I had my first fill 12/08 which didnt work he couldnt access the port so I had to wait until the 12th to do it under fluro and then I didnt feel anything and was eating really well so I went back on the 18th and was filled to 5.2 cc's. I too am bruised and I am still hungry. I have lost 2 lbs but it has taken 2and 1/2 weeks to do it. I am just going to give it time and let it work, If you need to get to 6 then do it! My doc told me he thinks I may level out at about 7.5 which means at least 2 more fills. Keep your chin up and tell everyone who is watching to mind their own business

Thank you all for yuor comments, I went today and had another fill so that I am at total 5.2cc and I think I feel some restriction now. I will know later when I try to eat. I am very gald I did not wait til after the holidays!

That is good to hear!! I didnt have this surgery to mess it up by eating too much. I am stopping myself of course but I dont want to feel hungry either. On the other hand I hear the horror stories of being to tight and dont want that either.

Thanks Kiz, that makes me feel so much better! Again, I just want to make sure I am not going to do harm by eating to much. If my docs werent going to be out for the holidays I would wait a week but better safe than sorry:)

I made the appt for tomorrow and will see how it goes. I really feel NO restriction at all and feel much hungrier than I have since surgery and just dont want to wait til after the new year. I am most afraid of eating to much and stretching the pouch. I will discuss with doc before making decision on another fill. Thank you for everyones comments

I am eating more than a cup at a meal and they think that is too much so they want to do another fill. Go figure only I would feel hungrier after a fill

I was banded 11/10 and I had lost 12 ponds pre-op and six since surgery however scale hasnt moved in last two weeks. I had my first fill 12/12 and I think I am hungrier now after the fill. The doc wants me in on 12/18 for another fill. What do you think too soon or go for it?:thumbup::confused:

My pre op diet was liquid for 7 days. It meant any clear lquid (no cream or milk) sugar free jello and popsicles, thats it.

Had my first fill on Friday and it was done fluroscopy. I didnt feel ant part of it. My doc put in 2.5cc and I am not sure if I feel restriction yet or not. I dont have a problem eating anything I just dont eat much of it.

What do you mean for free???

I am glad to hear there are many of us!! I too lost 16lbs in two weeks and have just hit a brick wall. Getting a fill Friday so I hope that starts the wheels turning.

no ultrasound just felt around for it. I am hoping it goes easier under xray. How long did yours take? Do you feel ant restriction now?

Love my new wii. I havent ran in years but decided to try the basic run and I am up to 4 times in row:)

I know that feeling. I am just 4 weeks post op and need a fill. I went today but my doc couldnt find the port so I have to have it done under fluro, hopefully Friday.

So taday I was scheduled for my first fill and after being poked 6 times my doc quit and said I need it under Fluro and I have to wait until Friday. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH I need a fill. Anyone else have issues the first time?:wink_smile:

Hi Kimmy, I live in Melbourne too. I wouldnt beat yourself too bad. everyone is different so just take it day by day. Good luck!

I am finding my portion sizes getting bigger as well. I was banded on 11/10 and my first fill is the 8th. Good thing I think:)

I was banded on Nov 10 and I can now eat almost anything just alot less of it. Chicken has been ok and I had a very very thin ribeye (not the whole thing of course) I get my first fill on 12/08. I believe my band is unfilled at surgery
