I went in for my 3rd fill today. I havent felt any restriction to speak of in the last month unless I took a big bite of something. Eating slow and chewing well, everything seems to go right thru the band. I had gained a pound so my official weight loss today on record was 24 lbs since March 7th. I am at 6.25 cc's in a 10 band now. Surely I will begin losing again now!...

Still so happy to have had the lap band! Slow weight loss is better than slow gain!

I am also 60 and built almost like you are. I am so interested in hearing how things go for you. I live in Pensacola and have my initial consult in 3 days. I know from speaking with my insurance and Dr. Lord's office that my BMI is 35 and will be approved because of my arthritus and high blood pressure as co-morbidities. Even though I only need to lose 60 lbs, I have never been able to lose any. Please update me as you are able. May God bless you in surgery and recovery. I hope your life improves tremendously and that your best years begin now!
