I was wondering. I just got a fill on 4/16 but I'm still eating everything normal? The other night I was able to eat 3 1/2 pieces of pizza, also yesterday I was about to eat 2 casear turkey wraps, this is not normal, I shouldn't be able to eat of this, right? I called to make my fill appointment and they told me that 2 months is the suggested time to get my next fill so I made the appointment for June 13, should I make it sooner because I've already gained 5 lbs from my last fill, something just isn't right, I should be loosing. Also does anyone know why people with the band should avoid caffeine (not soda's), because I drink the Crystal Light packets with caffeine for added energy and I just read that I shouldn't drink caffeine, why is that? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:help:

Hi There,

While everyone is different. It sounds like you are able to eat much more than you should be. My surgery was 3/19, I received my first fill 4/19 and got my 2nd fill today. I suggest expressing your concerns with your doc and they might see you sooner. If they still say no, be sure to ask why!

As for your caffeine question... my RD said no caffeine right before or after surgery but I can have coffee, tea, etc now. Again, I can only recommend you ask your doc's office their reasons.

Good Luck
