Before your first fill, you need to fast two hours prior to your appointment. They will most likely have you go on a liquid diet for a few days. They did they for my first two fills.

You will be there in no time! Honestly, give it a year and your body will change sooo much! I was looking at your ticker and am impressed at how far you have come already. You are doing amazing!

Once you have reached your goal weight.
AshleyMarie replied to AshleyMarie's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Testimonials
Lol, Linds, I actually went up a cup size after dropping 80 lbs. Don't ask me how that happened. It is a good and a bad thing. I do have a lot of back pain now because my waist is so much smaller than they are. I am going in for a fill on Saturday because I have been eating sooo much. I feel like I am eating more than half as what I used to before being banded so I am due for a fill. I am a few pounds away from the goal weight Dr. Miranda set for me and want to lose maybe 20 more. I hope this fill helps me get there, but I do also have to admit I need to up my exercising. You look amazing girl. It feels great, huh? Keep it up!! -
wants to lose one more dress size. Hoping I get there with this next fill. Size 6 here I come!!

OCTOBER SURGERIES AND FILLS
AshleyMarie replied to Dolittle's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
I will be at the OCC this Saturday for a fill...finally! I have had to reschedule 2 or 3 times due to personal things going on...but they are much much better now. I am hoping they allow me a fill since I am only 2 lbs. away from the goal weight that Dr. Miranda set for me. I would love to lose 15 or so more . -
Vacation and weight gain
AshleyMarie replied to ErinRed's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
I agree. We all go up and down. It's a part of life. You will be fine and it will come off in no time. Don't beat yourself up over it! -
I was just wondering how the people who have reached their goal weight have been dealing with maintenance. Have you been unfilled or do you still work the the fill that got you to goal? I am just curious because I am not sure if eating more will stretch your pouch or cause any harm to your band. Do you have any suggestions for people who are close to reaching their goal? Thanks, Ash

Is going for her fill this Saturday(crossing my fingers that nothing gets in the way this time. I have had to schedule this 3 times already).
-
I went to a Pho Restaurant and ordered the broth. That helped out soooo much!
-
very stressful week. I became single and lost my grandma. At least I was holding her hand when she took her last breath.
-
excited for my next fill. Hoping to get to goal soon (not even sure what my goal is anymore).
-
wishes there was more traffic on this forum so I could keep busy during a slow day of work.
-
Cancelled fill appointment for tomorrow. I have been very stressed this week and am unable to eat.
-
Crossing my fingers for a fill tomorrow. I am curious to see how my band is holding up at almost a year and a half out from surgery.
-
6 lbs since Saturday!!!!! Way to go girl. That is soooo amazing. See, I have hit plateaus and they suck. It feels great when the pounds start to come off again. I am going to the OCC tomorrow for a check up and possible fill. You look so beautiful. Keep up the hard work. It is paying off and definitely shows

HELP! I am super scared.....
AshleyMarie replied to Momof8's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
How much were you eating and when was your last fill? After reading your post, it makes me nervous because I have been able to eat a lot lately and am going to have a check up and possible fill. -
Port relocted at OCC last night
AshleyMarie replied to ValleyGirl's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
Thanks lovie. How is your progress coming along? -
I must have over looked this in the paperwork and never took it. I am not even sure what it is supposed to do? Anyway, Nicole, how are you holding up girl? Ash

I tried so hard to only get the 3 recommend fills, but I am quite sure I am ready for my fourth. I can eat breads, and I am constantly hungry. Thank goodness, I have been maintaining my weight. I would definitely like to drop a bit more. My friends tell me I look a lot like the new Weight Watchers girl, Sara Rue. She looks amazing and is inspring me to lose more!
-
I am thinking of going to get a fill in the next few weeks myself. I just don't want to go alone and am trying to work something out. I am able to eat a lot more than usual and have been enjoying bread. It is time to get back on the band wagon.

Pregnancy after banding
AshleyMarie replied to my_friend_amber's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
Have you ladies gained much weight during your pregnancy? It's amazing that most women do not gain much weight while pregnant with the band and can lose it quickly after the birth
. I am a few pounds away from Dr. Miranda's goal, but I may just want to try to shoot for a 100 lb loss. We shall see.
