So i went to the doctor today to have another fill. this would be my 3rd. the first was 2 cc and the 2nd was 1cc. I was told I had 2cc to begin with so this was all a total of 5cc. WELL...the dr. weighted me and realized the weight loss wasnt where it should be so obviously i'm still eating too much. Mind you i've lost 36 pounds so far. lol. He looked at me and said "you know what...were going to try something different" So im thinking "oh NO maybe he'll take some out and see if it helps". He tells me "were going to get you a bottle of water and were going to slowly fill you while you drink the water and when you cant swallow anymore we'll take out a little bit and you'll be at your new fill amt. So i'm thinking WOW i didnt exspect that. He Locked the needle in and took out all the liquid in my band. he pulled a total of 3cc...doesnt make sense to me because i originally had 5cc but what do i know. Anyhoo...after he takes out the 3cc he starts to slowly fill it. I'm taking my swallows and then it i feel pressure so he takes a tiny bit out and pulls the needle out.

IM AT 8cc now. holy moly thats a big differnece:eek:. Dont get me wrong i'm excited to see how this is going to effect me but wow...that was alot more then i thought i would get. so I go back in a month to see where my weight loss will be at. on a side note...my port is always hard to get to so now i have 5 needle marks from previous attempts. I love my doctor and I trust him so we'll see. Im on liquid diet for 2 days and very thin mushies untill monday. ::gasps:: wish me luck.

That is great. That is how my doc does fills every time. Fill till too tight, then pull back enough to let water go through smoothly! I LOVE that. Imagine how long it would take you with little fills to get to 8 cc!!!
