Frustrated with my (lack of) fills..



Recommended Posts

Mee tooo!

My surgeon wont do more than she wants too I have done ok since I had the band In mid May, However just had my second fill and feel no restriction I just had the second fill last Friday.

I too am beginning to get real discouraged with the whole thing.

I walk 3 miles every night and am working hard for the weight loss.

Then I think I could have done this on my own because I am not getting restriction.

My first fill was late to begin with due to my surgeon just being careful so there for I was 9 weeks out from surgery before I got my first fill!

Then on the first fill she put .5 cc's in my 4 cc band noooo restriction so last week I tell her that and ask how much are you giving me today?

.5 again and at that she said you arent changing my mind!

so then I ask what if I feel no restriction and she says she will give me another fill in 3 weeks. Well then I go to schedule the appointment before leaving and welllaaaaa she is on vacation then so I have to wait 4 in a half weeks again!

Ok I know I am ranting but we all paid alot of money for this insurance or not.

We did this to help us loose and when do the Dr's listen to us after all it is our body we know when we arent restricted. I can eat quite a bit and have to be careful its terrible.

Her answer to that is well you knew goin gin to this it is only about a pound a week,Yup whatever!

sometimes I get so frustrated. I am thinking of finding another Dr. I like mine ok but she is just too lax on the fills. to date I have lost 35 lbs and feel I should be 10 lbs ahead of that. Am I wrong or what?

Ok thanks for letting me vent let me know what you all think.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
