wantingless

Hmmm interesting posts. I was banded 12.8.2011. 1st fill January 8 3cc, then again and again and I am at 8.5cc and have a 14cc band. Feeling a little bit of a restriction but not much. My mom is at 10cc fill, she was banded in October and also has a 14cc band and still going for fills but little ones now. Going today, I bet I will be up at 9.5cc by the end of today. Food is definitely getting stuck more often if not chewed properly and when I sit and eat for meals I can eat a regular plate size (not good of course) but at least I can't go for seconds. I was 243 before surgery and have been 222 with preop diet and post op a little weight loss so stuck at 21 pounds for months. I want this to work so bad!! My insurance also has a big deductible so I am literrally paying out of pocket for my fills. Good thing is is that I can go for a fill every week or two. Surgeon said it best, after a few days of being filled and you feel it's not working, come back, no need to wait. Love that!
