Hi there, band fitted in Jan 09, surgeon put in 3ml at opperation then after 6 weeks I had my first infill and the doc put in another 3ml, so im now up to 6ml in a 10ml band, is this alot to have put in, in such a short time ????, im feeling ok, have restriction, but some days i coould eat everything, I dont though im very good:tongue_smilie:, one day I can eat then the next day im not hungry atall, is this right ??. I go away in 3 weeks long haul to the states so they wont give me a fill untill I come back, im loosing 1-2lb a week still so I dont think I need a fill just yet, but want to loose this weight so badly, so far lost 28lbs in 7 weeks and need to loose another 28lb to get to target, start weight 186lbs target 126lbs, think this will be ard as i dont have that much to loose. thanks xxxx

saundersd, it sounds like you are having a fantastic weightloss. 1-2 pounds / week is great. Keep on doing whatever the hell it is you're doing, because it's working for you, sister!!

BTW, don't concern yourself much with how much "fill" you have in you. Everybody is soooo different that it's a very subjective thing. Picture two joggers.....one is a successful veteran while the other is a newbie. Newbie turns to the veteran jogger and asks "Hey, you're doing great. I'd like to have some of that success. What size shoes do you wear?" In the end, it doesn't matter one bit, as long as it's doing the job.

Hi Plain, thanks for your very kind words, you are sooo right with regard to how much or not I have in band, and yes it seems to be working, thanks again, Diane, England

I love it. Great analogy!!
