  1. I just had my 2nd fill and im in the same boat. My Doctor used a large band (15ccs) So my first fill was almost 2 months after the surgery and that was 6ccs..I had no restriction and today he gave me another 2.5 ccs and i feel a little restricted but not very much. This is going to be a long frustrating haul
  2. I have Anthem Blue Cross for LA County Area, they will also not pay for my fills (which I agree is stupid)
  3. OK that makes sense! My doctor mentioned that my hiccups were stretching the pouch and I freaked out, now everytime I hiccup I think im messing it all up. UGH
  4. OK so I am already on solids and I dont feel full. I have the hiccups a lot but since I have been able to eat solids I have gained 4 lbs; which of course is making think something is wrong? Is this normal? I am worried something is wrong with the band. Any ideas?

    Well I was banded on 11/30/09 and I am already on solid food. I dont feel full at all and have for some reason gained back 4 lbs in the last 4 days I was able to eat regular foods. I am wondering if this means I am already needing my first fill? I am worried that something is wrong with the band and its not working. Any advice?
