I just recently found out that I have a 10cc band. I didn't know that there was a few different types of bands. Friday I had my 3rd fill and I have 50 percent evaporation. Now instead of 6 weeks I need to go in 3 weeks for my 4th fill I will then find out if there is more evaporation, if there is I need some kind of x-ray not to sure what it is(?) has anyone ever have this problem? explain what they did and what are the different size bands and why? thanks alyssa

:clap2: I'm not failing I'm just impatient. It sounds like it's going to take a few fills to make all of this come together. I was under the impression that I would only get 4 fills total and by the 2nd fill things would start to work and by the time I got to the 3rd fill things would be cooking and I would not need anymore. Thats why I was getting worried.

:cry help, I had my band oct.3, 2006 and I've had my second fill and the weight is not comming off, I've lost only 9 lbs. I had lost 11 lbs the first week after the banding, but soon as I started soft foods @ 3ozs. I gained 2 lbs and gained another 2 when I started solids @ 4ozs. My first fill I felt some restriction for a little while then it went away. The second fill I feel no restriction at all. I discuessed this with my Dr. and he said something about evaporation of the fill and checked it, there was some and said that by the 3 or 4th fill it will catch up. I'm feeling like a failure again and I'm failing at this too. I thought by now I would have lost 15 or 20 lbs.

thank you, I will have better thoughts. I'm trying
