I am also feeling like you and was banded over a year and a half. I need to get focused on having this band work for me and my goals. I should remind myself how hard it was just to have the surgery finally approved and that this was my chance to get healthy. I feel good but I know I need more support and a plan to stay on track. Stay positive and make small changes that will lead to your success. Good luck

I have 10 cc's in a 14 cc band. It's been a year and six months since I had surgery. I just got an adjustment 2 weeks ago and now I am getting heartburn. The last time I got heartburn they took out a 1/2 cc and then I came back a month later and they put back the 1/2 ccc and I had no heartburn. They said at 10 cc I am pretty restricted. I definetely can feel it more and even notice wear my band is more noticeable since i have lost more weight.
