[libertysuzanne 1]

I've had 5.5ml filled and at the moment I thinkit is too tight, I can hardly eat or drink. I have to wait another week before I get to see the doc.

Could you tell me what size the heliogast is, I have lost my card that I used to carry everywhere.

Just had mine fitted last week. It's a 10cc band so it will probably take a few fills to get good restriction.

Great ailbhe, congrats on your fitting, I think I had mine ftted by the same doc. I know I didn't have Dr Mignon.

How did you find it, did you enjoy your last supper?

Thanks for letting me know the size, I have no idea where my card went and my fill doc needed to know( I just realised I c ould have emailed Deirdre butlast time I did she didnt reply). At least I know that I still have some space for alterations. I was worried that I would get to capacity and still need more. Although at the mo that isn't an issue. I am not as tight as I was, thankfully but still tight enough to get a good restriction.

Hi guys

I was also banded by Dr De bryne on 11th jan 08 and have the heliogast band too. I only have 3.75mls in my band. I do not feel much restriction. I can eat half of what I ate before but this is probably a normal portion!!lol. Going for another fill on 20th march and hopefully this will take me to 1 "cup" like i am supposed to be having!!

Hello There!!

I also was banded by Dr De Bruyne - He IS lovely ...anyway I have a heliogast band too and have 5.5mls in and NO RISTIRICTION AT ALL!!!! I am due to see him on the 10 April and CRY !

Sending you a huge virtual hug Honey. It is different for us all. Some can go with no fill at all and others really push their band to it's limit. I often wonder why that is.

Lets hope you will feel a good restriction with your next fill. I think I may be going for another fill in the next month, I've started eating more than I did. Mind you I hardly ate anything for a month, so anything is more than that lol. I am just going to have to pay attention to what I am eating, then I will have a clearer idea.

Wishing you all the best

Thank you so much for your Support - It is all a confusing business and driving me quite mad - lol .

Maybe 7.5ml should do it

Due to have my first fill on the 17th of April. Did any one have a lot of pain after a fill? I know I sound like a cry baby...because I am!

I had my band on the 5th of March, I still have a hard time sleeping on the left side where the port is located.

Does anyone else have strange feeling where the port is located?

feel's like I have pulled something...
