Hi there,

I plan my fills very carefully.

Every time I have a fill, I must make sure I have at least 4 days off of work, but a week is better.

I have the fill on saturday, then late afternoon its getting sore, then by the evening its like bad muscle ache.

On sunday its DIABOLICAL. I am in bed, paracetamol wont touch it.

On Monday its terrible too, but by Monday evening I am gingerly getting up to watch TV or something.

tuesday its bad, but I am functioning. On Wednesday I am just about able to look after my house, chores and child.

Thursday I am mild pain, and any sudden jolts need to be avoided, but I can drive again.

Friday I am just really carful because the memory is still with me.

By Saturday its normally settled down.

Anyone else have this?

I have been haing a BAND NIGHTMARE.

I have had 8 fills, and I have lost 2 pounds. No restriction apart from the initial amount from the operation.

I have a 10ml band. I had fills with 1 doctor, but it seems he never did anything other than give me a load of expensive injections.

I changed doctors (after my one was sacked!!! looks good huh!) and Now I have had 5 mls with him. I should have 11mls in my 10 ml band. So you can see why I am cheesed off.

I had 1.75 mls put in on Saturday and I am now tuesday and feeling pretty rubbish but not as bad as I was.

I had to go to the doctor yesterday as my port scar swelled up and went red around the edges too. They gave me Flucloxacillin (500mg) 4 times a day.

Anyone else hating their band right now??

I am 8 months post operative and lost 20 pounds prior to June, but since then have been putting it on at a rate of 1 pound a week or so.

Feeling pretty rubbish right now

Banded by Dr. Dillemans in Bruges Belgium 14th february 2007

5 fills with Dr. Clayson in Tamworth (£375 in total)

3 fills with Dr. Dovey in London Barnes (£270 in total)

Would love to hear from others banded in Bruge and possible those who were 'filled' by Clayson... or not as the case my be.:mad::mad:

I think you really need to be checked out by a good Dr. Based on my experience and others your having too much pain. I have 7.6 cc's, banded 8/28/07 and had 2 fills with no pain. By your details please see a doctor.
