Two weeks after fill and I'm not happy
I was thrilled right after the fill because when I got home I weighed myself and had lost 5lbs I went to Monterrey so I was gone for about 4 days. Anyway since I got home I"ve been having a really hard time adjusting I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but, I'm PBing right after my first few bites at almost all of my meals. I try to chew alot but, it lands in my chest like a roc****il I PB than I can usually continue eating. I also have not lost a lb but, I haven't been excersizing cause I sprained my ankle. I plan to start again tomorrow. I guess I just need to know that this too shall pass.
You might think of Posting your Lap Bamd concerns on the OH Lap Band Forum for answers. As I/we don't know your Surgeon protocol for care after a fill. I had RNY but from reading Dr.Rehnke's boards it seems that New Fill are considered as like just receiving a new lap banding. That your on just liquids for a week & then some foods progressiong back to regular foods.
May I ask what a new Fill cost with your Surgeon in Monterrey? There's a program of Surgeon's around the US who will do the Out-Of-US Lap Banding after care, Ithe web site is: http://www.aftercareprovider.com/
Good Luck.
Thanks So much Michael. I will take your advise and post it on the other board. As far as cost we (my daughter and I ) bought a package with lite and free we paid 8,600. and it included the surgery, airfare, hospital stay 2 days, hotel at the hospital 1 day, driver to and from airport, fills for life under fluroscopy and a one night hotel stay. Can't beat that and the flight to Monterrey is just under 1000. for the both of us round trip.
