I am going for my 2nd fill tomorrow. I had my very first fill this past Friday 1/5/10. I have been starving trying to stay in the limits of the eating guidelines. I didn't want to call my dr. office so soon but I did and they told me to come in the morning for an adjustment. I was soooo happy b/c I am eating like every 2 hours. I eat wait an hour drink wait an hour eat, etc..... I have a 10cc band and the dr. put in 2.5cc's. My band was empty after surgery.

I NEED SOME RESTRICTION B/C I AM STUCK AT 214; HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS.

I like that your doc is willing to give you more so soon because mine made me wait 6 wks.......!!!!!

Best wishes,

Mimi

dont rush your fills it can cause band erosion if you go too fast and your stomach cant handle the pressue. You stomach is healing for the first 6 months after being banded. Good things come to those who wait

Thanks for that bit of information. I will ask them about the erosion when I get there tomorrow. The docotor suggested the fill. I was calling to see if I could eat more food. They told me not to increase my food b/c they didn't want me to stretch my pouch.

I'm over a year out and still eat every 2 hours - just a small snack like a cheese stick or some nuts. Yes my weight loss is slow but it's healthy. good luck!
