I was had my first fill today, Dr. Berths put 1.8cc in what I think is the smaller band, I kow Dr. Abkin didn't use the one that Dr. Bertha always uses, I was still loosing but I am so worried about the holidays I thought I would nip my fear in the bud. I started out at 225 and I am now 183 so far so good. keep me posted on all of you, work is crazy so I am on much less than before thanks for your loving support all of you. I have a new pic I am going to up load..

Second fill today There were only 2. cm left from original fill of 1.0. Now at 1.5 cm. So far so good. Now let's see how the body does with this new information.

The scale isn't changing but my husband comments that there is less of me to hug. What wonderful words!!

I had my third fill this past Friday. I'm really restricted. I'm hoping it loosens up a bit as I can't even drink all of my Water for the day.

I'm down 49.5 pounds....grrr, fighting for that last .5 of a pound!

Hello Faybie,

Had my second fill three days ago, *still* at the same amount lost. Oh well, hopefully this will jump start the loss again. Only had .5 cc in the bad, from an initial 1.5 fill, so they took me back to 1.5cc.

I'm not going to wait so long next time for another fill. Had some upper resp issues going on, so I had to reschedule my fill appts TWICE! Ugh!

I'm getting fuller faster though, even with liquids. Mushies start today, so that's exciting. Wish me luck and some will power!

Karen,

I stalled for about a month and a half, however I was still losing inches. I have seen people call this "compacting" and it makes a lot of sense. I think your third fill is going to do it for you. Just hang in there and look for some Non scale Victories to keep your chin up!
