  1. Hey Everyone- I was banded on June 2nd, 2009. Am on my 2nd fill, due for my 3rd on Oct. 7th. I'm currently at 5.5 ccs on an 11 cc Realize band (I'm told my newer one is 11, not 10). I haven't hit my sweet spot yet, but I'm down 36 pounds. That's not much, but when I average it, it's 3 pounds a week since surgery. That's pretty encouraging. Oh and I just gave away my first bag of clothes that are too big and just broke into my first bag of clothes that were previously "too small." I have bags in my garage that average from size 16 to size 8 so it was nice to break into that first bag. Good luck everyone!!! :scared2:

    3rd fill

    hi there I was banded on 6/2/09 with an 11 cc band. I have had two fills for a total of 5.5 ccs. I am going for my 3rd fill on Oct. 7th. So far I haven't felt ANY restriction. Just want you to know you are not alone. From what I hear it usually takes 3-4 fills (which probably means 5) :mad: Keep at your doc to help you find the right level. I think it just tales a while. I'm only 36 pounds down since surgery and it is all will power and exercise at this point. That's good, I know, but man I am looking forward to when this thing is engaged and working for me. Good luck to you!!!!
