Hi All, I went to a support meeting tonight and someone said if they fill using a fluroscopy they can calculate what the fill shoud be by the rate at which the fluid empties into your stomach. anyone ever heard of this? Sheila

Hi Metalband, Good Luck with your fill. I know what you mean about urgency when I loose ibs I get a sense of relief and then you let go for a while. I did that a couple of weeks a go and gained 2# back. Now I'm bummed out. So it's back to urgency Sheila

Hi Mini, Yep I will be firm. I'll try. My goal of 130 may be a little low. My real goal is to get off all the medication I'm on. So when thtat happens I'll be near my ideal weight. Thanks again I'll report back next week. Sheila

Hi All, I need some advise, I have 1.6 cc in a 4cc band and can still eat way too much. can anyone of yo give me some advise on how much they put in a 4 cc band. When I had a fill a month ago I was restricted and pb but now I can eat anything except soft bread. HELP. I'm gaining now instead of loosing. I have joined a gym and that is helping along with walking treadmill for 30 min a day. But I'm lost somewhere in NO SWEET SPOT LAND. Sheial
