Hi Maddy167 i know what u mean, I have 7 cc but I have been eating like crazy its my fault tho I was really doing well but then I lost my mom 6 months ago and thats when everything went down hill. I am sure I have gained some of my weight back I like always use food as a confort but the good thing is that I made an appt to see my doc I haven't seen her for the same amount of time 6 months. I just hope that I can get back to it. Hope things get better for the both of us and everyone else who continue stuggling.

its weird because I mentioned to my doctor that I have been losing some of my hair and she asked me to get Hair and Nails vitamins which I did but they are really big I took it and it went down right but I forgot to ask her about take vitamins that are not chewable if I can swallow those pills which are huge I'm sure I can swallow the vitamins.

just wondering when can I start taking regular not chewable vitamins. I am 2 months post up I just had my second fill and I forgot to ask my doctor!

WOW congrats I am 2 months post op have lost 23 pounds hope I am as successful as u are congrats again. Any advice on how to achieve my goal I just had my second fill two days ago I have 5cc in my 10 cc band but I still don't feel restriction.

that sucks so are u saying that u only have 2cc in ur band and u had ur surgery in May? I didn't have anything in my band after surgery but my first fill was 3cc and I hope when I go back she at least puts 2cc more cause I really don't have time for every month visit to .5cc I mean come on i could understand if u was feeling restricted but not if u feel u can eat the same as before like i do.

eating small portions without restriction

I want to be clear that I am patient and I am losing weight however the band is suppose to help us but it hasn't start helping me as of yet. I only had the band for 5 weeks tomorrow and i did get my first fill my problem is that the first fill didn't make any difference I thought I would feel a little less hungry. Or feel full a little sooner but not yet! I will wait to see if my next one will make a difference. We all made the decision to get band so it can help us I mean I am losing because I am working hard. I eat healthier than before and I started the gym going 4 days a week but its' all me doing. I just want to be able to eat a small portion and feel satisfy what's wrong with that **** that's why I got this surgery. I know I have to wait but I've been waiting too long first to get the surgery and now to feel restricted. I wonder why they don't put more cc at a time, instead I have to wait a month to probably get half cc like seriously this piss me off..

I'm glad I am not the only one who feels this way!

I know everyone is different I was just wondering because my band was empty and my doc put 3 cc and i don't feel the difference just wanted to know if anyone felt the same as me. I would think 3cc is a lot but maybe I am wrong I do have a 10cc band.. It was just a question if u dont want to answer that's fine!!!!!

I would like to know how many cc did it take to make u feel like u wasn't hungry. I just got my first fill 3 days ago and I swear I don't feel any difference!

I was banded on October 4th and today was my first fill I don't feel the difference yet tho

I was also wondering why is the reason u have to be on liquids after fills?

When to see the doctor today I got my first fill I am so excited at first she couldn't find the port but after a few tries she found it. My band was empty so she put 3cc hope all goes well. Wanted to know if everyones band is empty when they got their surgery.

I will try that thank you, good luck to you too..

3 days is long enough trust me I did it!
