you can do this!at first you have to stop yourself when you get full.i was banded 7-15-09 and have lost 18 pounds with my 3rd fill being today.i still do not have alot of restriction but my doc says you dont want to get filled too fast,because you want to be able to keep the band a long time.you have got to stop yourself and when you start seeing results it will be much easier
