wow I'm so happy for you that must be an awesome feeling! now you might really see a difference on the scale!!! good luck i wish you the bestes best!!

I'm glad that your starting to fill some restriction, are you still down your 20 pds...or have you lost more?

I wonder why it took almost 3 weeks to fill it? I'll be looking forward to reading about the out come.(:

I have lost a total of 27lbs. BUT, I workout at the gym every single day and I truly believe that I haven't had much help from the band thus far. I am so excited at the thought that this may work for me! I really was getting discouraged!

I know what you mean...with my luck I know that's going to happen to me! I'm kind of second guessing my decision as far as what surgery I should go with. Although with lab band most likely to keep it off vs. the other.

If you have money, you can do both. I know a lot of people who have RNY, lose their weight, then when they start gaining it back, they get the lapband. I was too scared of the more invasive procedures. So this was my only choice.

I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. 4 cc in a 14cc band. I am soooo tight in the a.m. I don't even try to eat anything until after noon. But even then, a lot has been getting stuck. By night everything goes down pretty easy, except I am full pretty quick. I am lucky to eat half of what I used to. It is wild. But something still in my head says I should still be eating, how can we be full after a few bites??? That damn little voice in my head. That's what got me fat in the first place. Its sad to see how I allowed food to get such a handle on me and my emotions. I always thought I was stronger than that. Oh well.....new chapter. Hang in there sweetie. Congrats on the restriction...YAY!!!!!!!

Thank you! I am pretty excited, I still have it. I canceled my Fill for tomorrow and rescheduled it for July 9th, just in case it doesn't last. I am a little scared because my worst time to eat is supper and in the evening and I have no restriction then, but I have been making myself slow down and eat smaller amounts. Just the fact that I am eating 1/3 for lunch of what I used to has to help!

I was having the same issue, two fills with not a lot of restriction - until the last one. Wow! I can hardly keep anything down, even liquid. I really have to be careful and listen to my body. The weight is falling off. No hunger,just hard to get in all of that protein. But I've lost 50 pounds in 2 1/2 months! Yahoo! I feel great! So glad I made the decision to have my band done.

Wow, you really give me hope. I would be happy with 1-2 lbs a week! I am losing, but it is taking a couple of weeks to see the scare move a 1 lb. Thanks for the encouragement!
