August 14, 201312 yr I was banded on the 8th and will get my first fill also on the 27th and I think I could have used it at least a week ago. Probably not medically wise a week ago? Right now it feels just like any other diet. My history with diets ain't to good!!!!!
August 14, 201312 yr Sorry to disappoint all of you, but you probably won't feel any different after your first fill, or your second or even your third fill. (Of course, it depends on how aggressive your doctor is with fill amounts.) You are entering into what is commonly known as bandster hell. Hang in there though. Just stick with your plan, eat your protein and drink your water and it will work out.
August 15, 201312 yr Author We had surgery on the same day.. My dr won't give me a fill yet;( and I really need one I had my first adjust right at 3 weeks after . I'm due for my second . You should have had your 1st !
August 15, 201312 yr I was banded on 6/20 and have since lost 19 pounds and a total of 39 since May 1st. I went to see my Dr to have my first fill. After filling out the questionnaire he told me I don't need a fill yet... He said as long as I'm losing a 1 to 1.5 pounds per week I don't need a fill and according to the questionnaire i'm in the green zone. So for who are not getting your fills are you not considered in the green zone? Are you feeling hungry? My Dr placed the largest band and I thought for sure I would need a fill!
August 15, 201312 yr I had my first adjust right at 3 weeks after . I'm due for my second . You should have had your 1st ! Just a reminder-every doctor has his own protocol. Most won't do your first fill until at least 6 weeks post op to give your body time to heal and surgical swelling to go down.
