awsome u go Catfish87

I also feel the same three weeks ago I had a fill of . 5 cc, and still I'm very restricted ....... I. Do good with liquids, however solids seem to hurt still. I'm wait for my next appointment , to see if I gets any better...... Finally starting to lose, I'm happy about that...... I don't want to go in for an unfill and lose restriction, as I've read could happen. It has taken me so long to reach an kind of restriction

. Hi

Thank you , can't wait to try them

:

Hi, wow 18 fills it took to fill ur 14cc band. I also have a 14cc band. I'm about 11.2 cc filled, and was thinking something was wrong with my band, as I had no restriction. Thanks for the valuable info, guess I just have to hand in there.

Hi , I feel the same , I finally had my first restriction, after many fills, however 3 weeks later , I feel no restriction again..., I've been trying to figure this out. I go back for another fill in about week , and will try to get an answer. I'm starting to feel as though my band is not working for me.... Keep me updated on ur restriction :-)

Hi, I also had a second band put in ,also a hernia, would love to chat with you. My new band doesn't seem to be working as well as my first band. We're did u have your band done?

I used Them from NYU , it will be worth the trip. Excellent doctors and hospital!

Welcome, New Guy from NJ, lots of support here through your new journey :-)

Thank you for the information wow

Good to know thank you

Hi Angelize, how r u? I also was banded from Dr. Schwack , at NYU..... And also come from S.I. How r u doing with ur weight. Loss?

Welcome :-)

Hi , just wanted to let everyone know , that there is hope after an unfill. I was feeling down after my unfill , felt that my band was not working , however took a couple of extra fills , now it's working again , on my way to lose again. Yay. Hang in their Bandsters it does work sometimes slower than others

Wow

My doctor says warm fluids, after a fill. No cold fluids at all for a day. The stomach needs to take it easy after a fill, that's why your put on clear liquids for 2 days then a full diet, so your stomach can heal

To all the Bandsters , who feel no restriction...... Hang in there, the restriction is coming . I have a 14cc band just had another fill last week, finally I have restriction , I am now at 11.2 cc in my band. And haven't been hungry at all since last weeks fill. I am so very happy . Have to remember to drink all my protein shakes. I can now start losing without the hunger. Yay..........just last week I felt as though I didn't even have a band inside of me.and I was able to eat any and everything, and I did lol. What a difference1.0 cc has made in my band......All the best to all my Bandster friends........

Hi Lisa , I'm from Staten Island too. I was banded in jan 2013 at NYU . When were you banded. How are you doing, with your band?

They can just fix the flipped port. Your doctor is choosing not to, seek another Doctor to fix it. The same happened to me only they replaced the everything a whole new band and port. I'm sorry I just didn't fix the flipped port only, because I'm 4 months post op with this new band and its Not working yet

I'm trying lol

Hi I have a 14cc band also I'm at 10.7cc and still don't feel restricted I hear what ur saying. I feel the same
