5th fill - difficult but worth it

So I went in for my 5th fill. I got .75cc fill. Felt fine but by that night couldn't even swallow my own spit.

 

I went in the next day and had a .25cc defill. Felt fine and then a few days later the band tightened again had to go back in and have another .25cc defill.

 

Now I am at 8.75cc in a 10cc band and feel great. I think I am at my sweet spot for now.

 

Altogether - I am down 55 pounds as of this morning. What a wonderful feeling. Even though being overfilled was very uncomfortable - to get to the spot where I am at is great.

 

I can hardly wait until summer - going to the beach is going to be a totally different experience than in the past. Before people looked at me like I was a beached whale. This summer I am going to feel awesome and totally enjoy the water with my boys.

 

Thank you Slimband - I Love My Band.:thumbup:
