3rd fill. Now it works

Used the fluoroscope. Doc added a few more cc and my world changed

I'm so glad cause I was feeling nothing! Now it's harder to eat. Will this last? I got about 3 oz of dry grilled chicken in and was done

  • I just had my third fill about 2 weeks ago and it changed my eating habits also. I believe that's what it suppose to do though it has cut my eating in half if not more since this last fill. I'm 4.3 cc

  • The third fill is doing the trick. TODAY I STEPPED ON scale AND SAW THE FIRST NUMBER WAS A 2!!! I am below 300 for the first time in years, feel great. Puked the other night when I ate too f

  • You are closer to the green zone if not there as of this fill. Yes, this will last. A fill always makes things swell a bit, after the swelling comes down you will know if it is your green zone. My

I ask my Dr what size band I had he just said large, and he put 2cc in it and said I will do 2 more next month.

I'm not green and not sure I will even strive for it. I can eat an adequate portion but then I'm full and stop. I'm losing but I'm sure not as fast as if I were "green". I only have 2.5 in my band and even if I get another my surgeon is going very slowly.

I understand that. For me I find the lack of choice easier to live with. I have a small capacity now. I won't waste it on poor choices.. I find it makes things clean cut for me. But I acknowledge we are all unique. What works for one might not for another..glad your happy and doing well.. :)

Where are you at fill wise? I have a 14 band with 9/5 in it.. Sent from my GT-S5830 using LapBandTalk

I have 6.5 cc in a 14 cc band

Hi fashionstylist!!! My band lady told me generally people with a 14 band find restriction around 8-10. No doubt there are huge variables. So depending on how your fill amounts your getting there... Keep rocking the fabulousness

Okay that's good to hear. So I'll stop panicking. I'm still staying within my calorie limit.

Your doing gr8..I was really tearful for a while. I hated being hungry all the time..it felt just like a regular diet and they weren't a fabulous success (or I wouldnt be here) so wondered why I'd spent all that money! I did voice that and my band lady did fill quite aggressively. As long as things stay like this I won't be needing another fill for?? Possibly ever. When's your next fill scheduled? Hopefully not too long too wait...

I get a fill every month . I just got one on tues so I have 3 more weeks. I am staying full for 3-4 hrs. I think I was just having a moment because I didn't work out yesterday. For some reason if I don't work out I feel like I'm gaining weight bit actually the opposite is happening. It's a mind thing..

Don't be too hard on yourself we are our own biggest critics.. If I don't get weighed I stress
