Tired of this weight!!!!!

April 22, 2004

Hi Everyone,

I was banded on January 12, 2004. Lost 34 pounds in 10 weeks and loved the band. Still do to a degree...LOL. I had my first fill the beginning of March and haven't lost weight since. Don't have much of a restriction either. I seem to be able to eat anything and everything without any trouble. Which isn't good, I've even found myself eating more and more, maybe I'm testing it out or just plain stupid. They put 1.4cc's into the port. I need more...

I'm doing everything I shouldn't and can't seem to stop. I need help. What do I do now. I'm getting very depressed.

Dawne :cry

First, let me say a big congrats for 34 pounds lost!!! You're on your way!

The easy answer to your question- go get another fill!!!! I find that it's way too hard to follow the bandster rules when I don't have good restriction- then I beat myself up and it's a vicious cycle. Get another fill and your battle will be so much easier.

sweetie you need a fill!!!!!!!!!!

the band is designed to work when properly adjusted for you!!!! it holds up to 4.0 cc's i had to have several fills to get to my SWEET SPOT! (perfect restriction)

your dr wont call and say 'ok dear lets fill er up' its up to you to stay on top of it and tell them 'hey buddy i can eat!' i have 3.4 cc's (perfect for me) but at 2.8 cc's i could eat 2+ cups of food!

go get a fill!!!!! it truly makes it soooo much easier!

(((((hugs)))))))) i know and understand your frustraion!
