  1. I was banded on August 23 2010.At my last doctor visit I had lost 9lbs bringing my total up to 39 lbs. At this visit I got 0.5cc added to my 10cc band for at total of 6 cc. While in the office, he had me drink a cup of Water after the fill and it went down fine. I followed a liquid diet for 48 hours . When I started back eating solids i couldnt keep hardly any of it down. After a few bites if I didnt stop eating it would come back up. So I went back to the doctor and had 0.25cc removed. This brought alot of relief and I was able to eat. However, now I am eating alot. I still dont feel like I am having any restriction.I have an appointment scheduled for 3/21 should i try another fill or just wait 6 more weeks to my appointment after that. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
  2. Thanks for posting this website. I feel like Im on my way to getting in shape with training the right way with weights. The site has alot of good information.
  3. If a person stops being your friend because your loosing weight they are not your friend anyway. A true friend will be there for you when your fat and when your skinny. Continue to lose weight and remember while your dropping pounds you will be dropping people also. In the end, the people who are your real friends will be the people left in your life.
