big tom

I cant take any more of my doctor:cursing:.. I went in for a fill today (the one week she is in town out of the last 4 months!) My last feel was in feb and i only lost 32lbs since then but hey its gone for good. I was told to take in a food list of everything i ate for 3 days prior to today and bring it in. I set in my waiting room for 1 1/2 hrs waiting for her then when she does come in she sculding me as she opens the door! Telling me she cant help me if i wont try and so on. My food looked like this. MON 1 egg, 1/2 piece of sasuage link, and 1 toast. 4 spoons of pb 3 pices baked chicken, yellow squash, mash potatos. Water,milk TUES 1/2 of a frozen Pasta meal lean quasine) taco salad milk oj unsweet tea WED 4 spoons of pb 2 eggs, 1 biscuit, friedpotatos water, milk I know that the potatos wasent the best choice but a small amount I mean come on! She would only give me 0.5 cc (i had 8cc in a 14cc band) and told me She will only see me agian if I only eat 1 time a day between 12 and 5 pm and I can ONLY have frest fruit and veggies and NOTHING else. I just dont feel like i get my hundred dollers worth when i go see her! In fact I dont thing i want to see her again. Does any one else have a doc like this? P.S she gave me the most he** over the 1 glass of OJ.

if im not getting the food i need why aint i loosing weigtht?

I had my last fill last feb for a total of 7.5 cc ml in a 14 cc band. Ive lost maybe 10 lbs sence then but get stuck EVERY time i eat even when chewing till there is nothing left to chew. I would say that I pb at least half the food i try to eat then afte eating i still have the stuck felling for hours untill it fades away. Could i have a serrious problem with my band? it hasent been just this fill ive been like this sence the first one. I cant talk to my surgen about it because she moved out of state..

NO no no no no no no no NO a million times NO!!! only 17 lbs down in nearly 2 years!! whats up with that??? If i had to do it over agian I would have went with a differant surgery in a heart beat!

how do you get unstuck??? you barf.. I know it happens to me 8 or 10 times a meal..lol

Im almost 2 yrs post op and right with ya at about 370.. was 465 before starting pre op diet and 387 day of surgery. So 17 lbs down in the last 2 years woohoo! NOT!! :thumbup: doc tryed to get me to go with the bypass.. should of listend :crying:

Hello everyone, I havent been around in a while, this march will make 2 years sence i had the Ap large band put in. My weight on the first day i went to my surgeons office was 465 lbs. My weight on band day was 387 lbs. weight when discharged from hospital was 402 lbs.made it back up to 422 lbs by 1st fill. Weight today is 375 lbs. I havent seen my dr in almost a year (she moved out of state) Im suposed to have 7.5cc in the band but i think she missed the port on the last fill of 1cc. Now for the question How can I PB sevrel times at each meal and still not be loosing like i should be? by the time i get done filling my walmart bag up it looks like its just as much as the 4qt bowl i put in.

My question is..... Where does someone get the money/time off to take a month long vacation?? I would love to know your secret..

dr velcu should know that im commetid to it. I lost 79lbs from my first pre op oppenment till my band was put in. (end of nov to march 11th) then as soon as it was in its been a battle. like i said I gained 15lbs while in the hospital just from iv fluids.. I called the only other doc in my area and they wont take another docs patiants. I wish they would because ive seen them fetured on the show (big medicine). O well I guess its chicken breast and beans for 2 weeks then ill beg my doc for a bigger fill then she has been giving.

sorry to give some of you the wrong ideal on the 5lbs of food part. a better example would have been "a full dinner plate" as for sweets and ice cream, they dont come in the house. my son's 1st b-day party last saterday was prolly the 2nd time ive had cake sence march. most of what i eat comes from a can or a box out of the freezer section, we just dont take time to make meals. I do like the jenny O turkey roast but they have to cook almost 3 hrs. I am thinking about seeing another doc and asking for a 3cc fill for a total of 9cc but the next closest one is a 4hr round trip and theres no garentee he will give it to me.
