Doc doesn't want to do a fill.....

I called today.....5 min after they closed!!!
Will try again tomorrow. :)

I do think it should be the patient's choice. You know how you're feeling and weight loss can be deceptive - doesnt mean you havent STARVED and worked REALLY hard to get there, and it certainly does not indicate that you dont need a fill.

Really, its your choice how tight you want to be, an when you want to have fills, conversely if you end up too tight, its your own fault, but your doctor should be going by what YOU say you're feeling, not what he concludes based upon the scales.

My doc has a band herself so I find her much more understanding. She didn't do my surgery but she does my fills. She was banded in Mexico as was I. It's nice to be able to talk to her about her band as well. I know she is going to get me to the proper restriction as fast as she can.

So how did you make out? Did you call the doc and demand to be seen?

I am scheduled for a fill on wed 6-18!!!!! *CLAPS*....wish me luck I am so hoping that this is the sweet spot I hear so much about :)

I got my 3rd fill today!! I now have 6cc in a 14cc band...he put 1cc in today!!

Do you think you got some restricion now?

I can tell a BIG difference. Like usually for breakfast I eat cottage cheese packet for the protein...(and it may be due to swelling) this morning I took a bite ----no way my tummy said I was tight and of course it got better as the day went on. I had to just drink my protein water. For lunch I had a little less than 1/2 cup mashed pots and I was soooo full!! I am SO excited I hope it stays like this...and maybe this will be my SWEET spot!! The doc didnt give my any probs either with me wanting to do the fill so I was glad for that!!

MSNika3: O my gosh, you are sooooo funny. I laughed until my port felt like it was gonna pop. I wish I could be around you on a daily basis girlfriend.

WELL- I def have my restriction!!!!!! I cant eat anything solid first thing in the morning. And I just found out that roast beef doesnt agree with me either....but its all good
For breakfast the last couple of day I have been drinking one of those yogurt drinks and I add a scoop of protein powder to it....does great. I have never been much of a bfast person anyway... Bread has been cut out completely it SOOOO sticks!!
Anyhow I have already lost 3 more lbs so I am stoked!! Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

Yay, congrats! Sounds like you might have some good restriction now. I'm always way too tight in the mornings to eat and I typically make a 6-ounce protein shake with organic skim milk and Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder. I can't even think about eating until at least noon or 1:00 PM. It's wild how I'm way tight in the mornings, but by evening, I'm WIDE open.

Keep up the great work!

Yeah today I didnt drink that much of my shake and I was hungry by like 11 but I was still too tight which I think is why I got sick but I've been fine since then.
