Wow i didnt realize how long it has been since I posted. So far I have had 5 fils. I'm around 6 cc in my realize band. It feels o.k. I am feeling some restriction but it is hard for me to eat really solid foods, no pb just dont feel so good after. As for the weight loss I am down about 40lbs but it fluxtuates a pound or so. I do not get on the scale everyday and the only number I take seriously is the on ate the Dr's. My original Dr. left and I have a new one now He's o.k. I miss my other dr. I am still talking to my daughter's friends mom every few weeks she has lost about the same amount of wt. We are going to get together and do some walking. Right now I am working on cleaning out my basement which I had neglected for so long.Thats where I exercise and I need to make it a pleasant place to be.
