Can fit up to almost 2 cups of food with 5cc in my band. I'm not satisfied I feel as if I'm fitting to much food with 5cc so I called my doctor and she told me to come in on tues for another fill hopefully 6cc will start working for me I really hope so caused band only fits up too 10cc and I'm almost reaching 10cc

I am going back this week for 2nd fill, 3.77 now, still feel hungry. Let us know how feel 2 goes for you!

So how much have u lost?

I personally have lost 74 lbs since I was banded in 4/09. I became complacent and so I have recommitted to losing the remaining 30-40 lbs. now that I believe my band is where it needs to be ( and i started exercising) I won't have the issues I was having before and will be able to lose the rest of my weight by the end of the year. :-)

I have been at 7.75 for only a week or so. Was up as high as 8. Something but was serious too tight. At 7.77 I still had choking occasionally in my sleep so they removed a very small amount. I feel good. I am rarely hungry and find I struggle more with head hunger then anything else. The idea of eating three meals a day is engrained. Scheduled almost....Somedays I eat more ( because im around others with scheduled eating) some less and Somedays I forget to eat (when i am involved with other stuff) but become symptomatic with headache' date=' grouchiness or tired. I continue to be a work in progress and it requires mindfulness on my part to eat properly and follow the rules. If your eating five small meal a day and losing and feel good then you are on the right track! Good luck!!!![/quote']

Thank you Jen, I guess I wanted the weight to fly off... Lol

Going back in to get one more small fill (.50) in 2 more weeks. I should be done for a while after that.
