Dear Deb, You make me feel better. I thought maybe I was a lost cause. I had a fill in September (5 cc) and apart from having to eat slower, I have no other real restrictions. I am wondering why I went through all this? I live in Italy and the doctor that invented the proceedure did my band. He is very adement about not filling too much too soon. Why is he so hesitant? He said I may never need another fill if I just learn to eat correctly with the band. I could have joined Weight Watchers for that information! I will just have to convince him to give me another fill. How many cc.s is enough to get some results? enruffol

I had my first fill in September , 2007 (5 ccs )and I have lost no weight and it's mid November. I can eat as much as I want as long as I chew well. Is his normal? I thought I would e losing tons of weight by now. Should I have a refill? Was all this worth it? Help
