Biography
I have been overweight all my life. I can't wait to go into my closet, and it goes from all the clothes fitting (most are too small) to all being too big to nothing fitting (because all are too big!!) That is my Goal. And to be healthy & look great!

Am I too "tight" ? .... 2nd fill yesterday
glindab replied to peaches9's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It really amazes me on how the band/fills effects everyone differently. I felt some restriction with just my band. Then my doc gave me .5CC in a 10CC band -- and i had a little more restriction. Last week, i got another .5cc for a total of 1cc, and I can hardly eat anything. I am eating small amounts, very very slowly. But I couldn't imagine having another fill anytime soon. Not that I am complaining -------------- don't get me wrong. It just amazes me. I remember thinking during my 1st fill "What is .5cc going to do for me when there are some getting 5cc at a time?" -- But everyone is just so different. Lilly73 -- PB is productive burp and NSV is Non scale victory. I had one of those the other night. I went to Cheddars with my friends and they were already sitting in a booth. I normally try to do a table -- but I was so happy to fit comfortably in the booth -- with room to spare. I can't wait for November -- i am flying to Vegas. I am sure this time, i will just be like everyone else -- i will walk onto the plane, go to my seat, and buckle up. WITHOUT asking for a seatbelt extension. WHOOHOOO -- i haven't done that for years. And I can't wait to sit in the seats at whatever show i go to see and not have to squeeze in and out of them. :clap2::clap2: -
