The one that I hate is "you have such a pretty face" if you would only..... If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be rich. :faint:

I also have a large band and experienced a similar problem. I have gained back almost 30 lbs. I went to the Dr. today and got a fill. I already had 6cc in my band and they added 2cc more (so I have 8cc so far). My Dr wants me to come back again next week to check it. I was told that some people may need up to 12 cc to get the right restriction.

Most of the deli stuff works for me too. I sometimes throw up hard cheese, beef and chicken breast. When I make chicken I usually put salsa on it to make it moist. Elise

I had a similar experience. I have a 10 cm band. My first fill they gave me 3cc. I was still very hungry. The second fill they gave me 2cc so I was up to 5cc. I still didn't feel a lot of restriction but if I ate too fast, I would throw-up. Still hungry I went for the 3rd fill. They gave me 1cc bringing the total to 6cc. So far so good. Well, good luck to you. I was told that it takes at least 3 tries to find the "sweet spot". Elise

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I was banded 8/9/06 by Dr. Brad Osbourne. I have currently lost about 34 lbs. I am looking for information about how people eat now. I'm trying to get a good food plan established. Thanks, Elise
