On Monday, I went in to have a very slight unfill (0.1 cc) as I have struggled for the last 2 months with 6.0cc and I finally decided that I was just a bit too tight and it wasn't getting any better. The only good thing that come from 7 weeks of discomfort is that I lost 18 lbs! :biggrin2:

So, my dr. brought me back to 5.9cc (I was at 5.8 before and felt I needed more) and I am amazed at how much difference this slight change has made.

I still have awesome restriction minus the difficulty eating (sometimes for a full day), so I am officially in my "sweet spot".

Awesome! I didn't think I would ever get here, so don't give up hope!

Good luck to you all!

Reading stories like yours give me hope... I am a new bandster. March,'08, and had my first fill yesterday.... I had 3cc added during surgery and 1 more cc yesterday. I am still very hungry.... I initially lost weight but ate the past 3 weeks waiting for my first official fill. I was hungry all of the time, and gained 2 pounds....

I don't feel any more restriction today with a total of 4cc and I don't yet feel less hunger.

I now realize, what every one has been saying, duh!!!!, that this is only a tool, and I NEED to WATCH everything I am eating...and it is soooooo easy to eat sugar. And NOT to grab for something because it goes down easily.... (What was I thinking???).

I know I have to give it time to work, but reading posts like you wrote, tells me I have a way to go..Thanks for the info on tweaking the cc's......

Hey hvnagdtme,

Im am right there with you. I have currently 2.7 in my 4cc band. And Im to tight.I have been trying to live with it for 12 days now.I thought it was gettin better but its not.I can get Water and Soups down. Just not solids.

After gettin stuck again today and having to get rid of it today in a co-workers car I came right back to work and called and made me a appt...

I wont be able to get in till next Wed the 7th. But Im going. Im hoping maybe just take out like .2 or .1 anything for relief and be able to eat.

I was loving the weightloss. almost 9 lbs in 12 days.

WOW!!!!! I wanna be in sweet spot!!! And I don't want to be in the "slow losers" club either!!!!!!!

Congrats on your awesome weight loss, and your unfill!
