  1. Hi Carfigure, sorry about your mom. I know that has to be tough. But if you only have 7cc are you able to get another fill and get back on track? With me I am just afraid that there is no more wiggle room. I am at the max 11 ccs the band can hold and if I have reached my "sweet spot" or the "green zone" where do I go from here? (sigh) It is jut so frustrating. I will wait and see what the doctors say.
  2. I hav an 11cc band that is filled to the max at 11ccs (I got the last .5 yesterday). I am just now starting to feel some restriction but still able to eat way more that would be expected with all 11ccs. My doctor is very surprised and said I am the first patient that he has come across with this problem, but that he would speak to his counterpart who's performed thousands of these surgeries (and was also present at mine) to see what he says and he will call me back. At this point what other alternative would there be? Did you get to 11ccs? At that point did you reach your "sweet spot"? If not, what did you do?

    First Time Stuck Today!

    I had my surgery 13 days ago and started the semi liquids/soft mushy foods a couple of days ago. I have been pretty strict about sticking to the diet and making sure I get all of my protein, vitamins, and liquids in. My question to you is, how many lbs have you dropped so far? I know everyone's body is different and men end to lose weight much faster than women, but I am a little perplexed riht now. Just in the first week, I dropped about 12 lbs and was really excited to see the lbs come off so quickly, but this last week I have been stuck at the same weight even with the very low calorie intake, and it is a little frustrating since I was expecting the really rapid weight loss in these first few weeks after the surgery.
