Booked in for a fill, had 3 ml in there from first fill after surgery. Doc put in another .5 ml and said see me in a week

.

Been back at the gym all week and taking it a day at a time.

Yes, thank you for posting, it's really nice to hear from long timers! Good luck and you can do this.

I really love hearing from the "long term" lapbanders. It helps to give us all insight on how well the band still functions, and its possible longevity.

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Yes, thank you! And onward and downward!!!

Just got back from Doctor. Told him the .5 ml didn't feel that different the last 7 days. Have dropped two lbs though. So he put in another .5 ml. So I am up to 4 ml in a 6 ml band. "Onward and Downward" thanks for your support.

What is your appetite like?

Congratulations for getting back on board!
