Hello! Just found this app and I'm so excited. I got "banded" February 11 2011 and am down 118 pounds! By far one of the best decisions I have ever made. I started out size 20/22 and am down to 8/10. Love reading all the success stories and stories of people starting their journey. It's not easy, but don't lose hope!

You are doing great! Don't get discouraged. I was at about the same pace as you and then things started going a bit faster. I had my surgery February 2011 and was down 100 lbs the day after Thanksgiving. Just keep at it.

It gets better! I think my third fill was when I finally felt it. Stay strong and keep watching what you eat!

How Many Fills Did It Take You To Get To The "sweet Spot?"

It varies so much person to person. I have 6.25 in my band and seem to do fine. At my work there are 7 of us wit realize bands ans the amounts vary from 5cc to 10.5. Kinda crazy. Just be patient. The first few are frustrating. I think it was my third fill I really felt it. -
When I had mine in 2011 it was 3 months. A girl at work just got it and they had changed back to 6 months. I have heard it is supposed to be dropping back down though. Just give them a call.
