:thumbup:Well, I had my 3rd band fill today. I told the doctor that it was time to tighten things up, that I haven't had that much restriction yet. He withdrew the liquid to see how much was in...4.5 ccs as we thought. He added it back plus almost 2 more. He said that I am almost at 6 and that my band would hold 9 and be closed at that. So, he also said liquids only for awhile. Let's see how it goes. I had surgery on October 7th and have lost 40.5 pounds since. I have lost a total from 309 to 257.5 in total since being my largest. I have joined Curves and really enjoy it. I like that I don't have to adjust machines and weights. I have so much more energy already. I hope my husband can keep up!

Congrats on doing so well...feeling better is the best reward!

The third fill DID IT for me!!!! Just watch it, it took 4 to 5 day and OPPSSY. Best wishes I have been as tight as I have ever wanted to be. I almost feel at times I am too tight. I am hanging in there with it. OMG my band seems to be working overtime. Got on a real scale yesterday and found I have lost 90 since June 29. Thats a baby COW or small child. I am shocked I am almost there! imaluckydog
