3rd Fill/No Fill

I went for my 3rd fill the day after my 4 month bandiversary. However, even though my weight loss has slowed, we did not add any fluid to the band. I don't have much fluid in the band, but my restriction seems to have been really good now for awhile. Because I don't get hungry, even at close to 5 hours sometimes, the PA felt that I didn't need a fill. I go back in a month and we'll see how things are then.

 

I am happy that I've lost almost 40 lbs (should hit that mark in the next few days) in just over 4 months. I wish that I was losing closer to 2 lbs a week, but it really has seemed to only be a little more than 1 lb the last two to three weeks. Oh well, I'm not getting too disappointed.

 

..am soo, happy that people are really noticing and I've started trying some smaller sizes. Some things fit and some don't, but some of it is the cut of the clothes. I did buy smaller size underpants the other day and should go buy at least one or two new bras. I keep forgetting though.

 

Well, that's all for now.

Way to go, lemonchick! I am also just a little past 4 months. I am to go into my doctor for a fill next week. However, I don't feel like I need one at the current time. I am down 50 pounds as of today. Yeah! I know my weight loss has really slowed down as well. I am okay with it. I know that I am doing what I need to do. Although, I do get hungry about every 4 hours. My last fill was a big adjustment and it took me several weeks to get to where I wasn't throwing up everyday. So, I do feel confident in staying where I am at currently. Keep up the great job! :rolleyes:

I get my first fill tomorrow. I am excited. Until now I have not lost any weight since I was banded Nov. 5, 2010. However, I didn't gain any either. I am excited to start losing some major weight. I have been having pain in my lower left side close to my leg. I got a CT scan and it didn't show anything. I don't know what to do. At this time, I am so tired of worrying and I want to think positive so much. I am going to ignore it and pray it will go away and enjoy my fill tomororw.
