Topic: RE: question about 'signs'

My sign, has always been the hiccups! I'm going on 5 yrs out, and it's still the same. I don't believe I did it before Banding, but NOW, it may be the food has filled the pouch, and it is just a signal, to let you know you're done! I really have no idea, hon, but it always works for me! ha

Topic: RE: Doc's thoughts on restriction level....

Going on 5 yrs. out, I've never been so tight I had trouble eating anything. Two things, give me problems, gooey white bread, and apple skins. Otherwise, I have been able to eat everything else. I had 2 small unfills, just because they for sure made me too, tight. I now have, about 2.75, in my 4cc band, for the last 2 years. Never have denied myself anything, hon!~

You have a LOT to be proud of, hon!~ It took my mind a long time to really believe what I was seeing in the mirror, as I lost. I still get thrown, when I walk by a store, and glance at myself in the glass! great job!

Topic: RE: how many did you need??

Well, I didn't have a fill until I was 6 weeks out, and then only allowed one a month! I had my 3rd fill, and thought, well, he(doctor) said 3-5 fills for restriction. THEN, after 3 weeks, it kicked in, and lasted me almost 2 years! I lost all my weight on the restriction, from that fill! For sure we are ALL different!

Topic: RE: What determines if you get a fill or not?

Amy, back in the day, we used to say, "If you don't stay full, for 4-5 hours, and are not losing 1-2 pounds on the average, a week," it was time for a fill.!~

Topic: RE: 2 months post op

Hon, when I was 2 months out, I had lost about 15 pounds total. I didn't get a fill until 6 weeks, and then, it took me 3 good fills to feel ANY restriction. It usually take 3-5 fills before restriction. Are you on solid food? If so, you need to just do the best you can, and eat a healthy diet. Get your water,and protein, in, and you're doing your exercises, and you shoud be fine! Try to do 100 oz of water, and a glass of water, before meals, will help with you feeling full. We used to call where you are, "Bandster Hell!" It will get much better, hon!~
