Haha!! Just another one of my many lap band rants to air the frustration goin on in my head. Since i dont have any friends with lap bands this is the only place i feel someone has got to know what im talking about..

I had my first xray on 11/13 after my fill to 8cc's & my PA says it looks like a "coffee Stirrer" and they prefer a "Milk shake Straw" type closure instead. Tomorrow will be 7 days w/8cc's i do still feel the restriction now on the 6th day. :D I think at 8cc's I'm "comfortable". I'm tight in the mornings & late at night. lunch & dinner i can't take big bites but i CAN take big gulps though. I think to see the scale move i should go tighter still. Maybe another half or so. When i go on the 27th for the next fill I plan to bring an actual 'Coffee Stirrer' to the appointment...and also 1 shipley doughnut (bread) to eat it in her face to show just how well it goes down (if it goes down) since my appointment is in the morning it may not go down....LOL Because she's at 8cc's in a 10cc band and has lost 60lbs in a year that's great, but I prefer a more aggressive weight loss than that. I've had 3 months of no loss at all. Also, she unfills herself when ever she wants & refills herself when ever she wants. I sure wish i had that liberty....

Are you really 14cc's in a 14cc band??

What cc are you at currently? How many cc's does ur band hold? At which cc did u find the greatest restriction?

At 8cc in a 10cc band as of today The restriction at 7.5cc only lasted about 4-5 days after the fill Praying this 8cc restriction stays around long enough to see a real loss. If not, ill be wiring my mouth shut by Christmas.
