Hi Everyone!

I just had to write a quick note to let everybody know that I have had my third fill and I FINALLY have proper restriction!!! It's a new feeling for me but I'm feeling better about the whole process now.

Before I had this restriction, I was feeling sort of discouraged. I am feeling so great about my band now, I just had to share!

I never thought I would be happy to PB, but when I did this mornig I was like 'whoa, so this is what everybody is talking about' HAHAHA! :tongue2:

P.S. I learned the hard way this mornig that WW bagels wont work with the band...

Thanks for listening!

Chi Town Susie Girl!

grats! Im so happy for you !

Great news!!

I am so happy for you! I can't wait for my first fill.

:tongue2:

What's PB-ing?

That's great to hear. I've had 2 fills so far (the 2nd was 3 days ago) and I don't feel any restriction so I'm thinking it's going to take me at least 3 fills. I have an out of town business trip to Denver scheduled for the week of 9/15 so I don't want to risk getting a 3rd fill before the trip and then experiencing overtightness while I'm out of town so I was thinking I will wait until I get back from my trip to schedule the 3rd fill.

The 3rd fill was what did it for me too. It put me at 6cc in a 10cc band. I lost 5 pounds that week after the fill but now I'm stuck again, just at least now at a lower number.

JRFan88, do you still feel restriction or is it time for a 4th fill?

I still feel restriction after nearly 3 weeks. Restriction for me is pain in my chest almost like the feeling of a heart attack. My doctor schedules our appointments 6 weeks apart so I'm about halfway between appts. I'm not sure if I'll get a fill when I go back or not. I can barely get a slimfast down in the mornings but then sometimes I can still eat too much. I have had my first PB since this last fill but it has only happened twice. Unless I loosen up in the next 3 weeks I'll probably stay at this fill awhile longer.
