2nd fill ??

I had my second fill today. No pain as usual I really like my surgeon. I feel very tight. I am only sipping juice and it is moving very slow. Will it stay like this?  Thanks

I get my second fill on Tue. I felt restriction, rather tight restriction for about 4 days after my first fill. Then it slowly left.  Now I am hardly restricted, but I do have to watch dense meats, which I chew and chew and take smaller bites. I'm looking forward to my 2nd fill too.

They didn't give me my second fill. She said I loss 5 lbs and she was happy with that. I told them how I could eat with no stopping at dinner and she said next month if you don't loss.  Needless to say I feel like I'm doing a weigh****cher program..Always scared that evey time I eat in night time its too much and I will gain weight..

My surgeon asked me if i wanted to just keep the course or did i need a fill. I have been loosing slow and steady and he was happy with my loss, but i told him the last month was very hard because like you I could eat anything i wanted with no restricition. maybe you can try talking to her again because the band is supposed to help not make you struggle. Good luck

My doc is basically the same way if you lose more then 5 pounds per month then he wont give you a fill and if you can stay pretty much hunger free for at least 2.5 hrs to 3 hrs then no fill.


I can always eat without stopping like tonight we went to Red Lobster for dinner and I had to stop myself from eating it was soooo good lol.

But I like that also beacause that shows to me and proves to me that I got the willpower to say stop no more and box the rest up so now I got a awesome lunch tomorrow :o).

The band tonight reminded me oh you need to stop you dont need that much food and make yourself sick and it worked perfectly that is what I was looking for in the band to give me them litlte reminders hey Im wrapped around your stomach you dont need to eat that much .

The mind is a great tool also if you really use it with your band :o)

what is it that you could eat at red lobster?

Hi Suzanne,

I can eat anything just because I do keep my band on the loose side of things .

I had grilled lobster last night , a few bites of shrimp , few bites of salad  and I had one of their Bay rolls oh my gosh those are to die for lol.  I could have made a meal of them and Im so not a biscuit or roll eater lol.

I think to be honest from reading on here how so many people have problems eating this or that, or scared to go out and eat because they dont know if they will get sick or not , that made me choose to keep my band on the loose side.  I might get hungry a little sooner then others but a little hunger hasnt killed no one and I really like it this way .  I still get control of the band, but in the process Im learning will power when to say enough is enough .

I had my second fill 2 days ago.  They only put in 1/2  cc this time. I am now at 4 1/2 CC's in a 10 CC Band.  Its not enough for me.  I feel restriction but I think I can still eat too much before feeling that stop feeling. 

As long as you can eat without PBing and can drink fine, I would think it would be ok.. But I would ask them if you get nervous about it or feel like your not eating enough calories.

I have 4 cc in a 12cc now. I will give it a few days. Thanks for you help.  I have had very little restriction since my 1st fill so I was a little nervous when juice was going real slow, but i am fellling a lot better now. Thank you

As much as I have read that we  will find our sweet spot around 3 - 4 fills I am beginning to think that even though I do believe in the band that they intentially know that we will need more fills and puposely give us small amounts to keep us going back for more fills so they can bill the insurance companys.
