I have been banded since 2007. Im down, right now, about 60 pounds, but that's because I have gained 20 since Thanksgiving. I was down a total of 80 pounds then. I need to get these 20 off, so I can fit in all my 10s again! Up to a 12 right now. My goal size is actually an 8. We will see.
I asked a couple of questions, since I never really knew. I found out that I have an Inamed band - 14cc
I had 7.5 ccs in it, and she filled me to 8.1 - does that seem like a lot or a little?
Several years back, I was filled to 10ccs and had to have 2 taken out - I lost 9 pounds in a week! However, this is the first time I have ever felt some restriction right after a fill. I will be doing fluids and shakes through tomorrow.
I guess I'm kind of all over the place, but I'm excited to get started back in the right direction to get this weight off.
Does anyone else have this brand band? Im curious. I had actually never heard of it, I always thought I had Lap Band brand. LOL
