I am 33 and I had my band done in 11/2007 I have only lost 37 pound and I have only lost six dress sizes and I am really happy about that. but I feel like I should have lost a lot more then I have. I have a 10cc realize band and I had 8.1cc in and I really didn't think I was restricted enoug so I went back to the doc and they gave me.6cc and that brought me up to 8.6cc and I ended up going back to the doc office 2 days later for unfill because it was to tight instead in ended up taking out 1 hole cc so I am back at 7.5 and I have to go back again. I am really confuse on how this hole thing works..:drool:
