They let me have fills once a month. I had surgery in early May, then........Fills: I had my first one July 9th (1 cc), second one Aug 12th (1 cc), I will have another one Sept 9th. They had put in 1.5 cc during surgery, so my total is now 3.5 cc's after having my first 2 fills. Very discouraged right now, I have to tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They said next fill they will add 0.5--1cc..... so not sure how long before I reach a good restriction.

All who've lost so much weight since May, please please please help me. I have only lost a couple pounds since being banded in May. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have 3.5 cc in band & go back in 2 wks for a fill. I seriously would like to know how much everyone is exercising or what you are all eating or whatever. I was so excited pre-op now I feel like this is just one more thing I have failed at. Please give me a run down of your daily intakes so I can compare. I expected to lose much more by now than the measely pounds I have lost. I WANT results like you all. Thank you.
