I've had only 2 fills & I'm in my 23rd week & just the past few days have felt no restriction I"m at the Dr's on the 24th so know I'm ready for my 3rd fill. I have a 7cc band and I'm only at 1.9cc fill so I've got alot more I can take which will get me to my goal. Keep at it you know it's going to work

I'm a "Carb" addict so being banded has made the decision to stop the cycle for me. Surgery was Tuesday before Thanksgiving 11/21/7 and as of last Thursday I'm down 35.5 lbs, from a size 22/24 to an 18. I only weight once a week, but have become very aware of the losted inches from everywhere by the way my cloths, shoes & even jewelry fits me right now. Prior to surgery I was 2 weeks on Opti-Fast so my last meal was never celebrated in any way and I keep focused on my improved health to keep me going............. Keep focused but don't beat yourself up for a bad day we all have them

I was banded on the 20th......... Go back to work tomorrow and I'm feeling great. Good Luck to you.
