Fill, Fill, he's my man... if he can't do it... NOBODY can!!! :banana

Since I very rarely start a new thread unless I have something to complain about... I thought I would share some happy news!

I went today for my second fill in my second band... and I am happy, no thrilled, to report that my doc was able to pull out everything bit of saline (1.3cc) that she put in 7 weeks ago. Yeah!!! This new band is holding the saline, no leaks here baby! She was also able to stick me the first time, which is now two in a row and something she was only successful doing when I layed on my side with the first band. And lastly, I am now at 2cc's. This is the most fill that I have had in either band, so I am really hoping I have some restriction I can work with... maybe there is hope for me yet and I can take off a few pounds over the holiday, while those around me are gaining... HA!!!

Sorry... I am just feeling very good about my whole experience today. I am on fluids for the next 2 days, but the time should go by fast. I was 237.4 on the doctors scale today, so in the last 7 weeks I have been losing and gaining the same 3+ pounds. I CAN'T wait to be a LOSER!!

I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for letting me share.

Congratulations! After all you've been through, there's only one way to go and thats....down (in weight) :banana

Great News Sassay..so happy to hear that there was no leaks...I hope this fill works good for you. I know we are all different with uor fill levels, but I am at 2cc's and it is great! I hope the same for you too!

Good to hear that sassy! I hope you get lots of restriction!

It does allow you to breathe a sigh of relief, doesn't it? Once you've had a broken band, it's like you're walking on eggshells, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

That's great news! Now maybe we both can get back to the task at hand!! Woohoo!!

Thanks so much Vera, Michelle, Betty and Leatha! I am breathing a sigh of relief and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that 2cc's will be nice restriction for me. I can't wait to see the scale going down.

I appreciate your well wishes.

Anne, that's wonderful...no leaks, restriction, and the holidays coming up! Now what more could you want!

Restriction Restriction Restriction.

You all make me feel so good... I should have checked in earlier today... back when my stomach was growling and I was wondering if I could go another day on fluids. Your well wishes (thanks Marie, Margie, Pam and Michelle (ShellyJ)) plus Greg's post to give me a great laugh would have definitely kept my mind off being so hungry.

Thank goodness for watered down canned Turkey Chili blended smooth and thin... it even beats out creamy Soups.
