I had a fill on 12/17/2007 and now stand at 9cc in my VG band. This journey has not been going the way I had planned but I am still determined.

I just wasn't having the same results as others and was beginning to think there was something wrong with my band. Did I have a dilation? WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!

The doctor told me I just needed a fill. Some people have thinner stomach linings and would need much more than average. So here I am with 9cc and it is tight. My morning protein drink is going thru very slow, so slow I can not even feel it. I have to wait and then try and drink some water and see if the water hits the back of my throat. I know, I know... that sounds too tight. Not for me. i don't want to give myself an inch to work around the band.

It is going to be hard here on out. There is still food addiction issues (if you believe in that) I will have to deal with.

yeah i believe in food addictions. i have one. i will eat to the point of misery even when i am not hungry. that makes me nervous about the band. but i guess we all have remeber that it is just a tool. i have not been banded yet, but i am going to try to work on some self issues before i do. - i hope.
