Jan 08 bandster fill poll



Recommended Posts

I have 8cc in my 10cc band and I have found restriction to the point that I am not hungry within 2 hrs after a meal. I am curious as to how much ccs in my fellow Jan 08 bandsters and when and if you got to this point where you are not so hungry.

I have 3.5 cc in a 5 cc band (last fill little less than 1 month ago). I'm really happy with my level of restriction. When I eat solid Protein it's usually at least 4 hours before I feel hungry again.

I have 2 ccs in my 10 cc band. I had my first fill back on Feb 29th. I used to have good restriction, but now have none during the day. I'm so glad that I'm getting my 2nd fill on July 11th.

I am at 7.8 in a 10cc band and I have awesome restriction. I'm never hungry and sometimes and I have sit and think about what I even ate for the day. I used to track my calories regiously on fitday but I am finding that I know longer need to do it. I will of course resume when I notice that my calorie intack is increasing but for now everything is perfect.

Well I am too damn tight, and had a bad weekend. 5 out of 6 of my siblings and families, along with my parents, and one of my sisters inlaws got together for the weekend. 17 adults, 7 kids, and my mom cooking all weekend.

So, in a nutshell, Friday, one hamburger, 2 Slimfast. Saturday, 2 chicken cutlets, cottage cheese. Sunday, one slice of ham. Thats all I was able to keep down all weekend. Had a sugar free ice, and sugar free chocolate pudding here and there, and 4 slices of cheese all weekend.

Tried other things, but got down one or two bites. I PB'd Watermelon!!! Yep watermelon.

If it wasn't for the Propel that I could actually get down and my Vitamins, I would have come out of this weekend sicker than I feel.

So, I don't know what to do at this point. My mother didn't like my color this weekend. I still had energy, able to swim everyday and do my walks.

HI all. Congrats on everyone's weight loss. I am little discouraged. I have 6cc's in my band, my last fill was 6/26. My next appointment is not until late August. He says I am doing well, but I don't feel like it. I have started running since my third fill and ever since thenI have had very little restriction. The strange thing is the only time I feel full is whenI have had liquids for me to be able to tell. I am praying that the fill will "kick in" soon. I just have no idea when. So I guess I am still looking for the restriction and the getting hungry soon to go away. Right now I am on will power.

I am sitting at 6.2 cc in a 10 cc band and pretty happy with it. I resemble normal when eating with other people, meaning I can eat most things that are not 'doughy'. I just eat slow and dh gets to eat and I take care of the little ones in between bites. Works out well for me.

This is great to hear, I feel like there is something wrong with me with having 5.5 cc in a 10 cc band and have another appt on wednesday for my 5th fill. I have some restriction but not enough. I can eat a whole hamburger and don't think I should be able to...thank you for the comfort that i'm not crazy

Hi Everybody, thanks for the info. Isn't it amazing that we are coming up on our 6 month anniversary. I am much happier and healthier than I was 6 months ago. I cleaned out my closet last night and am not keeping my "fat clothes" around anymore. I don't intend to go back up.

I am at 5cc's in a 10cc band. I just had my last 1cc put in on Monday so I am still adjusting to the last fill. I can eat anything, and only feel a little discomfort when eating scrambled eggs or chicken.

I so hope this last fill will give me some restriction!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
