Hey u guyz ..

:thumbup:

was wondering if u guyz were instrested in making a group where we exchange our expriences, feelings, worries and weight loss:thumbup:..

that would be great so all get to help and learn from each other ^.^

I was banded on 9/17/10. So far I have lost almost 40 pounds. I've gotten two fills, which put me up to 5 cc's in a 10 cc band. So far I have been pleased, but sometimes I do get impatient with myself. Would love to chat more with people who are on the same boat as me.

Does anyone know how to add a weight loss ticker?

I was banded on 9-10-10. I have a Realize band 11cc. I am a low BMI and needed to lose 50 lbs to goal. I lost 12lbs in the beginning and have gained about 4 lbs. I have had 4 fills so far 9.6 and very little restriction. I am going in for fill #5 tomorrow. So frustrated, I feel this is not working for me. Has anyone experienced this but me??

Im 3 weeks post fill and I feel like im eating waaay more then I should be. Weight loss is at a stop. I've only lost 20lbs in 9 weeks...Kind of discouraging. I have started working out (walking, Wii Active). .. I go in for my 2nd fill on 1/4/2011. My dr does fill's every 8 weeks.

@ danarth.....I dont understand how you've had 4 fills already. Does the Dr do them whenever you feel like you need one????

I just call and schedule every two or three weeks. I get my fills done by a PA not the Dr. I now have had 5 fills and 10.5 in my band. I can still eat a complete meal . Very discouraged. The PA told the Dr. of my dilemma and his answer was that I was not as big as most and that is why it is taking more for restriction. I hope I don't run out of room. I am glad I get fills so fast, it would take me two years with a non aggressive dr. Does anyone have this much in band before restriction???????????????

I have had 6 fills so far. I am going in for another 12-27-10. Now I am at 10.5 in my band, and very little restriction. I schedule my fill when I want. Usually every 2-3 weeks

Hi! I was banded 9/14/10. I have lost 84 pounds but need to lose 70 pounds more. I have had only one fill but I am due for another one on Tuesday. My weight loss has slowed down to 3 pounds a month for the last 2 months. I feel like I eat more now thus the need for a fill. I am only at 3 cc. at the moment. Can you tell me how you are progressing? I see that we got our bands just a few days apart.
