i had a second fill yesterday and had 1.5 mls put in taking me to a total of 5.5mls. my doctor told me that after a week or so the restriction wil once again disappear but next time i have a fill in four weeks time the restriction should stay and i will be on my way to losing some weight as i have not lost any since surgery back in oct 08.

i was banded end of oct 08 had 1 fill 4cc never had any restriction ,havn't lost any weight, really feeling down thinking its just not going to work for me. i have appointment for next week for a fill hoping he will give me 2cc so i can start on my journey. what do you think?

I'm also being banded on the 23rd october, started my pre op diet today,I think i will have slimfast morning and lunch and healthy meal in evenings but easier said than done i'm starving. I just wish the 23rd was tomorrow.

thank you JWRN i,ve just done a search and found several people with crohns who have lap bands which have made me feel a little more positive.

thanks kimaly i've got four weeks to check it out

Hi my name is jo, and i'm awaiting my op at the end of oct 08 in brussels. In 1998 I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease and at the time was very poorly, but fortunately I have not had any symptoms since and have not taken any medication for a number of years and feel well. This morning I was reading a leaflet about gastric bands and it specifically stated that anyone with Crohns should not be fiited with a band. I have informed the clinic about my condition and they say its ok but i,m nervous now instead of being very excited. what should I do? :rolleyes2:
