Dear Margi. I posted this message on 6/22. I went back to my Dr this a.m. He said I was tooooo tight so he took out 1cc and left in 2.8 cc. He was glad I didn't wait any longer because I lost 9 lbs since the fill on Tuesday. I told him I started throwing up everything including water. I was headed for dehydration. Now I feel like my old self. I lost 9lbs in 3 days and had circles under my eyes last week so please be careful of being too tight. In the short run it can turn into a bigger issue.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

What is your current fill in your 4cc band?
I went back to my Dr Friday a.m. He said I was tooooo tight so he took out 1cc and left in 2.8 cc. He was glad I didn't wait any longer because I lost 9 lbs since the fill on Tuesday. I told him I started throwing up everything including water. I was headed for dehydration. Now I feel like my old self.

Hello Everyone, That second fill is really kicking my ass. I cant keep water down now. I go back to my Dr tomorrow morning. I dont want to get dehydrated. I was 278 on monday. After fill on Tuesday I am 274.5 because nothing stays down. Sorry to vent. I feel terrible.

Jennifur, Can we get a break, not only do we get punished for not following the bandster rules, we seem to get punished for following them too. Lol. You are doing so well even if he wont give you the fill. You should be very proud of yourself.

Jennifur, My Dr. told me at my fill appointment on may, 15 that I should have lost between 6-8 lbs when I come for my next appointment on 6/19. So if he is correct in his theory then you are right on target with the weight loss between fills.

<p>Okay it did work when I posted last message. I thought it wouldnt because it kept saying session halted when I was updating ticker.</p> Trying to get my BMI in the 30s.

Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Good Morning Everyone, Is anyone else having problems updating their ticker? It will not change mine. No more PMS. I want to show my new 6lbs loss. lol.

My daughter is hooked on CL too. I will not buy anymore soda so she tried it now I have to stash me a few away when I open the box. Someone was telling me that too much CL isn't good for you. Have anyone heard this before? They probably just wanted my bottle for themself. lol

I'm addicted to Crystal Light Fruit Punch. Has anyone else tried it? I used to only buy the lemonade until a friend begged me to try her fruit punch. Now there's no turning back. lol

Hi Lucygirl, My dr didnt numb me either, it hurted alot. I had to ease into car and ride with the seat reclined. Luckily my aunt drove me there. I went to work afterwards and had to go home early to lay down.
