Awesome progress Alex77709! I get my third fill Monday and I'm hoping it puts me in the green zone. Noticed a little tightness with this last fill especially when taking too big of a bite of something and not chewing it well. Really have to work on that to re-train myself. Learning as I go.

I too am frustrated! Banded 8/16/12. Got my first fill on 9/26/12. 3cc in 14cc band and don't feel any restriction. Was told I probably wouldn't until the third fill. My next one is scheduled on 10/22/12 and I'm hoping it gives me some restriction. Scale is still going down but very,very slowly. Stay the same for 4-5 days at a time and then down 1/2 to 1lb. Don't want to get discouraged but I am.

I was banded 8/16/12. Lost a total of 32.9 lbs since start of pre-op liquid diet. Got my 1st fill 9/26/12. 3cc in 14 cc band. Not feeling any restriction but Dr. Said I wouldn't until about the third fill. Happy because weight is still going down but frustrated as it is sooooo slow. Guess I should revel in the non-scale victories like going down 2 pant sizes. Was a size 22.... Now in a size 18. Can squeeze into a 16 if the jeans have some stretch to them, but they're tight.

I get banded on August 16th. Currently on day 4 of my 2 week liquid pre-op diet and doing o.k. so far.
