I was banded 07/07/11 and I have about 4 or 5 cc in my band-I think this is plenty for my size (I'm 4'11). I have a LOT of food restrictions (no red meat, no chicken, no salad, no bread,no potatoes, ect). I pretty much live off avacados and white fish.... I have researched as well has have friends that have been banded and all they complain about is chicken. Does anyone else have a really limited diet? I have asked my doctor to take some out of my band but he will not because he says I should be getting a fill instead of taking out.... HELP ME!
