Just thought I let you all know, I just got my second fill today. I received .75cc. I hope I can have more restruction this time around. The doctors are very happy with my progress. I have lost 40 lbs in little as 9 weeks.

Congrats Peanutband!! I have lost 34 in the same 9 weeks isn't it wonderful? I go in for my second fill on Monday. I am very excited about it. Oh and I hit 40 minutes on the elliptical machine yesterday!!! My wonderful daughter has been pushing me. God bless her! I'll report back after the second go round.

Hi Gabby,

I've got 4cc's in my band, and probably could handle a couple more. At least, I'm going to ask for more at my next visit. No big deal, hon. You get what you need. Everyone's sweet spot is different.

I was banded January 16th and had my second fill last Thursday. My first fill was 3ccs (I have a 10cc band) and I had no problems at all. It was weird having restriction and feeling that things felt stuck if I ate too fast or the wrong foods. Last week (my second fill) I got 1.5ccs more and was totally stupid, didn't listen to the dr and ate a few hours later. I threw up like crazy. That night it was hard for me to even keep water down. I've been good since then, but I will NEVER not listen to the dr again! My restriction is awesome- I can hardly eat 1/2 cup of food and I'm losing weight at a good rate. The only thing that hurts with my fills is the numbing agent the Dr gives before he does my fill... and that just fells like a little prick!

Good luck!

Way to Go GlenSand! I am very happy for you . I am still trying to get up to 20 minutes on my elliptical machine. If we all get this up we should be very skinny by our bandversity. :sneaky:

Hi,

Had my first fill on Wed and have 3ccs. The doctor put in 2cc's during surgery and the nurse added 1cc. I feel restriction but not very much. Today's the last day of liquid diet, then two days of smooth food. I felt a lot of head hunger yesterday because it was so long since I was on liquids only. Today will be better, I think.

I lost a pound yesterday but it's the liquids. The real test will be how I do on solid food. Before the fill, I'd lost 20 pounds total and the last month, I've been gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. I sure hope this fill kickstarts the weight loss again. If not, I'm scheduled for my next assessment/fill in mid-April.

I am have the same problem as you. If I eat to fast now I get this feel of food being stuck and start to hurt in the chest area. I also have some restriction becuse of this and only able to eat about 1/2 to 1 cup at a meal. I know I will need a little more in the band but I feel I am very close to that sweet spot. Keep it up everyone. We are all doing so well.:ohmy:
