I was banded feb of this year and I started at 226lbs, lost about 12 but now that I really have not received my first fill I have gained all that back. I currently have 2cc in a 14cc band. I'm so ready to be restricted and stop eating so much but I don't think they would put As much as I want in 1 session (5cc). What do you all think?

Your Dr will likely have a protocol. My suggestion is go with the protocol. Give good, honest feedback each session. Don't be quick to fill, fill, fill. Each fill will require behavior adjustments on your part both physical and me gal ones.

It is my belief, un proven and just a gut feel, that many issues that arise come from being filled to fast without enough time to adjust to each feel.

I've suffered a slip and revision surgery...i'm more cautious than I was before.

I wish you a super successful journey. For now, drink tons of Water, crystal light or unsweetened tea and get your Protein in. And if you're really hungry all the time, don't use Protein shakes. Get your protein for lean sources of chicken, fish, pork. Beef...whatever catches you fancy.

And may I ask how did yours slip? I try to get in all my Protein but it's hard sometimes.

Thanks and I wish you a long successful healthy life as well with your band.

I agree with former poster the doctor probably has a plan. Since they started out with 2 CC's I doubt they will give you 5 now. Most give larger fills at first and slow down over time. That said I did'nt start to get restriction until 10 CC's in a 11 Band.

For now are you weighing out your Protein? Otherwise you will eat much more than you should.

My doctor only gave me 2cc's for my first fill. I do not feel any restriction and really have to watch trying to drink protein shakes more than eating actual food. I do not get very full so am not loosing very much wait. I am hoping my next fill helps but it is frustrating to think it may be a couple more before I feel anything. Right now I only have 3cc's so 10 is a ways to go.

Today was my first fill and he put 3.5 cc.he first over filled then had me sip water as he pulled back until the water went down with nonproblem.
