why me again ?

[StephieAck]

I am going to be controversial now and say...have you never considered moving over to the bypass? There are no fills etc with the bypass.

I may be wrong but I believe Liz considered this when her first band developed a fault, but was talked out of it due to her low BMI at the time.

Hope you get sorted soon Liz

i did breifly discuss it with the dietican the 1st time but they wont bypass people with a low bmi, i will discuss all my options next month once they have diagnosed the problem fully under xray it probably will be simple to repair this time x

Hi Carole im also thinking the same thing as i had a fill before the plastics op to keep my bmi down as they are fussy about bmi's anyway i had my op dec 1st and thinking about it i was gradually able to eat more after that, my scar goes right up between my boobs very near my port and i also think the fill cathetar has been accidently knocked and weakened where the tube connects to the port, next month the xray fill will confirm this, i will keep an eye on portions and im back to having no restriction i need to keep positive and make sensible food choices while im waiting.

Liz, I just wanted to know how long after you had your band fitted originally did it take to get the right restriction.
I have some but not enough as I can still eat quite a bit, I am hoping I have not eaten something and caused teh band to slip, I had an xray fill less than 2 weeks ago and everything was ok then.
I dont want to be impatient I just want to know that eventually I will get this band thing sorted x

Good luck with your band untill next month x

Hi FBN4E. I'm 8 months post op and have had 4 fills and I have still not got to the "sweet" spot. However, I can only eat a small proportion of what I use to eat and I have lost 3st 5lbs - slow I know but it's going. It's a steep learning curve with a band. Yes you feel hungry and yes you can eat too much particularly if you miss a meal and are really hungry. I have learnt that if I don't eat mash (my downfall) with dinner or at least eat it last and I eat my protein & veggies first I feel full quicker. Now this has taken a long time for my light bulb moment but I am hoping to have more of these!! So its early days yet for you and don't feel bad -you will get a handle on the band (so to speak). Wishing you lots of luck.

Thanks archies mum, Its really silly and stupid that I thought I would have teh badn and hey presto the weight drops off. I really need to work at it.
I have so far had a banana for breakfast (I usually miss breakfast) had this at 8am ish and am now starving at 10.30 so not sure what i do about that. mmm maybe a coffee (without a biscuit)
Thanks again xx and you have done fantastic xx
