[Helen 1]

I am having my 3rd fill tomo and I can not wait.... I want to go now!!!

I am so excited about getting more weight off, I have been at 18st 3lbs for ages so I am so excited to get going again, I so want to get into 17stones.

I think I might go to bed now so it will be here sooner:biggrin:

Hi Kitty,

When did you get banded? I have a 14ml band too & am up to 8mls now with fairly good restriction but just eat the wrong things at times. Do you have any restriction?

Good luck Helen with your fill. Keep up the good work.

Its great when you drop down into a lower stone bracket I've just gone from 13st into 12st, a big milestone for me.

Hi Littlenan

Like you I have 8cc in the 14cc band and for the first time I have constant restriction and feel like I just might have hit the sweet spot. Mr Toh has been brilliant, though last fill he did not do himself has now got a nurse to do the fills and boy she needs some practice as it hurt and bled for a while after, this did not happen with Mr Toh never felt a thing when he did it.

Keep up the good work.

Best wishes

Hi Lisa,

good to hear from you. You are doing great & we seem to be following almost the same ticker although you are over 2 weeks banding later. Well done :smile: you must be chuffed. Sorry to hear about your last fill problem. The first fill I had with Mr Toh was realy painful but fine since but not seen a nurse!

Noticed You have had a couple of big fills, I have trouble getting him to do them as he would rather not fill if I am losing even a small amount but I do have a resonable restriction but not quite there yet. How do you know you are at your sweet spot?

Keep up the good work & keep in touch.

Julie :biggrin:

Hi Littlenan

I have not had any input to size of fill have really left it up to him?? have just said i could still eat quite large portions. Since last fill portion size has come down but saying that two weeks on seem to be able to eat more again, but wont have fill this month as off on hols to cuba on 3rd April and don't want the hassle of getting used to a new fill, incase too tight. When is your next fill? good to hear from you.

Have not been to Cuba yet, go on 3rd april for 3 weeks yipeeeee!!! and for first time in years feel comfortable in my swim wear. Keep up the good work.

Best wishes

Have a great hols Lisa. Bet you will look great in your cossie. Got another fill on 10th & need some motivation as only losing 1 1b a week at moment but making bad food choices:frown:

Bet you get into a 12 before xmas x

Hi Helen, what a great weight loss. When were you banded? It is great to have more places to shop apart from Evans & Its also strange not to look for baggy things! I find myself looking for fitted stuff for the first time ever:w00t:

Keep up the good work. Its great having people to share this stuff with x

Hello

I was banded on the 28th June last yr, I had to wait a while until my 1st fill which was done in September, my starting weight was 22st2lb so being 16st 6lb is great, I feel so much better in my self.

Ladies, It is lovely to read all your stories. I was banded on 31st Jan this year. I have an AP Large band - 14ml. I had my first fill on 25th March - this was 6.5 cc, and am scheduled to have another fill tomorrow.

I booked another fill as I have only lost 6lb in 5 weeks. This is disappointing as I go to the gym 3 times a week and walk the dog for 30 mins twice a day.

My start weight was 21st 3lb and I am now at 19st 4.5lb.

Feeling a little dispondent at the moment, especially as my husband has lost more weight than me and he has not even been banded!

I'll keep my chin up and keep going though.

Hi everyone, I'm so glad I found this forum. I was banded on 23rd January 08 at the Nuffield in Glasgow by Mr J Smith. I've just had my third fill and now I'm up to 7 mls in a 14 ml band. I still don't feel much restriction but it's a little better but I've lost no weight since my first fill. Mr Smith says just to have small portions but it's hard when you still feel hungry. I seem to be able to eat anything at all. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this the way it goes? I thought I'd lose so much quicker and I'm getting a bit frustrated. I have a terrible sweet craving and find myself eating all the wrong things mostly at night. Does anyone else feel the same? Well done to those who are losing - hope I'll join you all soon.
