Yay, I finally reached good restriction The last fill gave me some restriction but not enough, but this one is fabulous. I am at 9.5cc's in my VG 10cc band and feel great! I am finally losing again :girl_hug: I have been plateaued for the last 6mo. I can't eat more than 1/2 cup at a time (if it's super mushy maybe 1 cup for the evening meal) and I stay full for hours. Only downside is that I can't gulp my water anymore, I have to sip it, but heck I can live with that.

Congrats, waterlily! That's a great accomplishment! I have the same band and currently have 8cc's. I have some restriction but not the amount that I want. I think once more will do it!

Keep up that level of excitement and you'll definitely be successful!

Congratulations! I hope others that are feeling frustration read this. I know so many are so concerned because they have the 10 cc band and are at 6 or 8 cc's and still don't feel restriction.

Congratulations Molly.

This is very encouraging for me. I have the 13cc VG band. Currently at 10.5cc in my band and still looking for good restriction.

I can still eat much more than the average bander and as a result I am a very slow loser.

My doctor prescribes a 7 day liquid diet post fill, which is where I loose the most of my weight. By 3-4 weeks post fill, I am eating regular again.

I had my 3rd fill mid january.

Now I am just wondering how long I need t wait to get the next one.

Well it depends on your surgeon on how aggressiv ethey are with fills but you can totally get a fill every week or two till you are where you need to be at my doc office. Just need to wait long enough fro the swelling to go down. Be a squeaky wheel and get another fill if you need one

I am right there with you waterlily. Just received my fill to 2.5 in a 4.0 and yes restriction feels WONDERFUL. I am in control again.

we can do this.
