Sorry about the swearing, just trying to grad your attention. I was banded 3rd Sept, had 3 fills, I am up to 5cc in a 9cc band and no restriction. I am going for my 4th fill on Tues and was wondering if 1.5cc is to aggressive or even 2cc? I just want some restriction. I want to rip my hair out from frustration, I can eat anything I want at the moment!

Sorry, no sympathy from me, bloody or no! LOL

I was banded 8/29, have had only 2 fills, only 3ccs in a 14 cc band, and no restriction. Haven't ever had any. None from post op swelling, etc. I'm just trusting my surgeon (who isn't charging me addl for fills, by the way) who says he's setting me up for long term success....no GERD, no PBing, no slime. I trusted him w/my life in the OR, I guess I can trust him now! :thumbup: He said it may take up to 6 months before I start to lose again but that it will last a lifetime. So I'm in worse shape than you, but not frustrated. Some things take a while, and I do NOT want GERD or esophageal spasms etc. He's not making any more money on me doing it this way, so I think he may be on to something.

NOT that everyone with quick fills gets GERD (want to be PC here) but I have less chance of complications doing it his way.
