Let's Get This Party Started!
Ladies, they call this Bandster Hell. I was banded Aug. 4th. I have had 2 fills since then. I had my last fill 3 days ago. My band size is 10cc, I now have 6cc's in my band. I don't see much difference in the way I feel before I had my fill. I have been told it could take 3-6 fills before we get to the Happy Zone. Hang in there, drink your water, count your calories, eat several small meals a day so that you won't overeat. I know what you are all going through. It will get better. :smile2:

Anyone had a PB yet?
My band size is 10 cc's. I went for my 2nd fill yesterday which gave me a total of 6.25 cc's in my band. I go for my 3rd fill Oct. 20th. I was starving with 5 cc's after my last fill in Aug. Hopefully you misunderstood the Dr. about 4cc's is all you can have in your band. I'm hoping 6.25 cc's gives me better restriction for a longer period of time.

Tell Us About You!
Hi....I noticed you're from Ft Worth. I live in Grand Prairie, but I do everything in Ft. Worth, was raised there. My Dr. is in Ft Worth also. I love scrapping too. When did you get your band and how are you doing? I've lost 26 1/2 lbs. I got my first fill Aug. 26th. I had good restriction for 3 days, now I am hungry and can eat anything. My 2nd fill is Sept 23rd. I have a 10 cc band with 5ccs fill now. The nurse told me Friday it could take 3-6 fills to get to my sweet spot. Good Luck.

I got my first fill Aug 26th. I now have 5cc's in a 10cc band. The first 3 days were great, now I am having hunger pains between meals. My next fill is Sept. 23rd. Getting my fill was very uncomfortable to me, not looking forward to the next one.

Still hungry and no restrictions
I was told my pouch would only hold 4oz. Nutritionist told me to eat 1/2 cup per meal. Dr that did my fill told me to keep food amount the size of my fist.

Still hungry and no restrictions
I have always wondered why they use different size bands. Do you know. When I had my last fill, Dr told me I had a 10cc size band. I ate 1/2 cup of Rice Krispies this morning at 8:30 and I am very hungry now. I have to wait until the 23rd for another fill. Felt great for 3 days after fill, started feeling hungry sooner yesterday.

Still hungry and no restrictions
How many cc's is in your band now? I was banded same day as you, I have 5cc's now.

Still hungry and no restrictions
So sorry to hear you are so hungry. I was banded Aug. 4th. During surgery my Dr. put 2 cc's in my band. I had to return 4 days later and he removed 1cc. I went back Aug. 26th and he put in 4cc's, which now gives me 5ccs. I can eat anything, I noticed yesterday that I'm feeling more hungry. So...I am trying to eat very small amount several times a day so I won't overeat all at once.
