I would also like to know. What is PB? I was banded 12/13/2005 and I have lost 35 lbs. I have hit a plateau in the last couple of weeks. I go for another fill 04/25/2006. Hopefully I will start losing soon. I know I need to exercise when I find the time. I have had a little trouble swallowing since my last fill and I was just wondering if that is what everyone is talking about when they mention PB. Thanks for the info..... Cricket

I will go for my next fill March 10. I will probably receive 1/2 cc. I felt restriction up until about a week ago. I feel like I eat too much. I limit myself to a lean cuisine at lunch and another one at supper. I drink lots of water in between. I have lost 10 lbs. in the last 3 weeks and I know I could lose more if I would get in an exercise routine. That is a problem for me. I hope to have more restriction after my next fill. I never realized how addicted to food I was until now. My son is getting married in September and I want most of my weight gone. It's hard too see that happening. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Hang in there people!!

I had my surgery 12/17/05 by Dr. Lee Schmitt. Very hard the first six weeks of healing. Lost 16 lbs. My first fill was last Thursday and I do feel the restriction. I'm only taking in about 800 calories a day or less. No fluid with the meals is tough for me, but I'm growing use to it by the day. My fill was 1 cc and I will get 1/2 cc in Feburary. 4 cc is the most I can have. Nice to hear from someone else that had the same Doctors.
