willpower has the band!!

Petunia · March 19, 2005

Hello Everyone

I haven't posted lately. Been too busy with work. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that willpower was banded yesterday. I brought him home last night. He is doing okay. Just the usual...sore and tired.

As for myself, I received my first fill on March 8th, got 1cc. Going back on Monday 3/21 for another fill. I'm feeling minimal restriction and getting frustrated. I've lost 15 pounds since surgery (1/27/05). I know the weight loss is supposed to be slow, but my patience is going out the door. Is anyone else getting minimal restriction out there???? How many fills/cc's did it take for a good restriction???

waiting for input,

Petunia

Hey petunia,

I was banded 1/13 and had my first fill 3/7. It hasn't given me enough restriction to keep from being starved between meals.

I'm getting all of my Protein, Water, exercising etc. and I haven't lost an ounce since my fill.

I think I'll call to schedule another one too.

You're not alone!

It took me 3 fills to get some good restriction.

I got another fill today. 1.4cc for a total of 2.4cc. Hope it does some good. Hey Kim, I think you and I get filled at the same place. Did they give you too much grief about getting fills too close together?? I didn't get grief, but they said "you were just here 2 weeks ago." well crap, if I don't have restriction, then you bet I'm coming back for another fill. Anyway, I'm very hopeful.
