Be patient. I know the feeling. I have restriction after 2 fills. Doc put in 3cc's at time of surgery. I now have a total of 6cc's and have restriction in my 14cc band. Make sure you drink plenty of Water and get your second fill as soon as you doc allows. Those first months are difficult until you get to the place you want to be.

Band date: June 17, 2008

Apples I see you lost 111 pounds in 4months how did you do that?

Wow I can't believe someone lost 111 lbs. in only 4 months that must be a record. I am having my second fill this Thursday, right now have very little restriction. And am at a plateau and need to get back on track.

Nope...didn't lose all after surgery. I worked really hard during my 6 mo. medically supervised diet (required by ins. co.) and lost 54# b/4 and the remaining #'s after. I feel wonderful and 20 yrs younger.

Hi Everyone,

My surgery was 6/24/08 - as of this morning I've lost 40lbs, it's been comming of really slow - and I've struggled with restriction. I've got 6 1/4 in my 10 cc band - and I'm pretty close to my sweet spot, if not there. I'm going to wait a few months before getting another fill. But I had a difficult time in Aug & Sept until the band was filled enough!

This is a wonderful tool, and unfortunately it dosn't work the minute surgery is over...........

OMG- how the heck did u lose 111 lbs that quickly? Is that healthy? Dont get me wrong-I would love to lose that quickly because I would have met my goal, but how is your skin elasticity now and did u lose any hair? Also, do you feel full after a liitle bit of food or restricted? Whats the difference? I'd rather feel full. Please let me know your secret!

I need to put this in my signature again...I lost 54 b/4 surgery on the six mo.medically supervised diet and the rest after surgery. Took me 11 months which is pretty normal IMO. Skin is good. Not much lower tummy skin, arms are good, no hanging chin. Upper thighs are a little saggy.

I have had energy all throughout this process and even had surgery a month ago and popped right back. No hair loss. I have pretty good restriction but have never been too tight. I get all my nutrients EVERY day. I feel wonderful.
