I went for my 2nd fill yesterday. I definitely feel some restriction now!! When I went for my appt. yesterday, I told the doctor that I was a little disappointed because I only lost 3 lbs in a month. He explained to me that my band was too loose. He patiently explained how he needs to keep adjusting/filling until we reach a spot where I feel good restriction and get that "full" feeling.

So, I have a 5cc band and it was filled to 2.25 yesterday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I see much more weight loss this month!!!

I got my 2nd fill on 6/10. I've only lost 1 lb since then. I was worried it was going to be to tight, but it's not. 1st fill was 2cc 2nd fill 1 cc.

Can you tell me how to add the ticker? I've been searching on how to do add it, I already created one on ticker factory.

I also went for my second fill yesterday. I now have 3.5 cc in a 10 cc band, I can tell that I have some restriction/swelling. My doctor will only increase in 0.5 cc increments from now on, but did say if it took 4 or 5 fills that he would do the next under floro to make sure I had good restriction then. I hope the weight loss goes faster now. Sharon
