thank you I just was wondering if something was wrong. If others have had larger fills then I am secure in the fact everything is fine it just will take a little longer. Again thank you for responding. I know everyone is different but hadnt heard anyone past 8.5 in 11 band and was wondering if something was wrong. Whew I feel better

how much in your 11cc band before you hit sweet spot. I am at 8.5 and not there yet just wondering about others.

How much did you get in your 11cc realize band before sweet spot. I am at 8.5 and still not there :smile2:

I did that as well- my doctor just wanted me to check on my temp regurlarly and called in an antibiotic as well. It stopped after about a week each day kept being less and less. I had surgery April 30 and things have been fine.

I have an 11cc band. My first fill was yesterday and I got 4cc. I am on liquids for 4 days and and mush for 4 days. So far so good

sometimes I feel that the spouse doesnt like the idea that u are doing something good for yourself. It is their insecurities.

I was banded April 30. I am down 20 lbs. I get my first fill monday. Cant wait. I am hungry all the time.

My dietician said absolutely no milkshakes or ice cream. It melts in the pouch and then becomes as liquids and does not have a lasting fullness feeling. Also she told us that they do not want us to feel starved. Have more protein.

I had my pre-op testing yesterday april 27,2010. Went pretty smooth. I am so excited about getting this finally done. I will be having final meal tonight with my family. We are having sauerkraut burgers and chips. MMMMMM. Then tomorrow (thursday) I start my liquid diet and do bowel prep.

My surgeon requires overnight with a barium swallow test 24 hrs after surgery if all goes well then I can go home. I will be banded 4/30

:thumbup:Hey everyone I am scheduled to be banded april 30,2010. I am excited but a little nervous at the same time. I dont want this to be another failure for me. With so many failures in my past I dont want to add another. I am very hopeful that with this tool I can suceed.

Hello everyone, I am excited that I finally have a surgery date. I started this journey almost a year ago. Had to do the six months with doctor diet then several tests. Then it took 3 months for insurance approval. Now less than 2 weeks to surgery. I am in Kentucky and will be going to Norton Hospital in Louisville. I am a little nervous about the pre op diet I have been hearing about. But I am ready.

Whooo Hooo went to consultation on the 8th should get call from surgeon in 2 weeks they said. I am on my way. hope to have surgery in January.
