Hi:

I've been banded for 15 months and have lost a total of 96 pounds. My last fill was in September and I thought I had reached my "sweet spot;" but lately I've been wanting to eat junk food. I haven't been on a scale because I'm afraid I've gained a couple of pounds. I'm scheduled to get a fill on the 20th, so I'll be okay through the holidays. My biggest fear now is keeping the weight off. My goal was to be down anywhere in the 190's. The last time I weighed, I was 199. I think I want to go down to 190 to be on the safe side.

Congrats, on the weight lost..........

congratulations....... where did you have it done? and how many cc? do you have in your band so far?

My band takes 10CC and I have 3.75 so far, I wonder what hapens after I reach my goal.....

I'm from Gary, IN,so I had my band done at the Methodist Hospitals in Merrillville, IN. My doctor is Dr. Paul Stanish. I have a 4 cc band and I have 3.25 cc's in the band. I've had about 10 fills. My doctor put in a little at a time. I did not get restriction until after about the 6th or seventh one. I haven't had a fill since September, but I getting one on the 20th.
