Congrats, I'm hoping for the same results with less fills! My first fill is a week away!

FYI, your font is hard to read, you may want to consider changing it :)

no, i dont.but whatever it is its working as i am down 10lbs since the 7th.good luck to you....

I had my surgery back in Feb, and have had 2 fills with zero weight loss and no feeling of restriction. I am starting to feel that maybe it's not working for me.. So depressed. Then I read your post and it gives me hope, I have a third fill scheduled for the middle of July, hopefully it will be the fill that works wonders for me as well. Thank you for your post!

Congratulations! I'm right there with you. Finally with 2nd fill have true restriction. 7ccs. Go to Dr. June 16th and don't think I need a third at least right now. Lost 60 so far. Feb 7th surgery 2011. True restriction finally means knowing what everyone has been talking about! Now tiny bites, chewing well and eating very slowly. It does work!

thank you for posting! my 3rd fill is monday, each fill i keep getting my hopes up, and its really getting hard for me to ask for coverage to have another monday afternoon or evening off (only day doc does fills) keeping my fingers crossed!!

GOOD TO HEAR ~~~~ had my 3rd fill today !!! now i have 7.5 cc in my band, hoping to fill some more restriction !! Can i ask A question, do you have a special diet for fills? do you follow it? we are told Clear liquids for 2 days, shakes for 2 days, soft foods 2 days, and then normal food> Anybody else?? and if not what do you do after fills ???

Thank you =)

i only have to do liquids the first day,and i do not eat before i go to get the fill

I had a third fill which made 7ccs in my band. For a long time I had great restriction, but now it seems like I can eat more different foods. I'm thinking the 20 pounds I lost after the 3rd fill may have caused my band to be less tight. I'm having to watch what I eat now to not gain until I can have a 4th fill in July. It was perfect restriction.....phooey! :)
