:thumbdown: Thanks for sharing your story. it's very inspiring!I was banded March 19, 2009. I had my first fill May 4, 2009. After the surgery i had no restriction and nothing in the band. They put 5cc in at first fill and I still don't have any restriction. I have been very disouraged with my physician. His approach is not individualized at. (Empty bad after surgery, 1st fill at 6weeks 2 fill 6 weeks later not a day sooner) i've done okay i guess, I've lost 28 lbs. But as I said I have no restriction and could eat the house down. I am keeping my self on track but just barely and the longer it goes on the mmore discouraged I get. Thay's why I was actually looking at this website today to try to find some encouragement.
