Two Fills Within 5 days

[delta27 0]

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,

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!
