    How much fill do you have in your 10 cc band?

    you know I never really paid any attention to how much they put in back then I just wanted it tight. I had my surgery on October 25th 2007and it seems like a lifetime ago. I can't even remember other than the big clothes I used to wear what it was to be obese...lol...I have lost 165 lbs...went from 360 to 195...size 48-50 waist to a 33-34....definitely worth eeeeevery penny!!!!!glad to hear other people found happiness too!!! Congrats to you all!!!

    Gall bladder issues

    How do you know if it is your Gall Bladder and not like say ...a stomach ulcer....I have had severe stomach pains now for a while but I really can't afford to go to a specialist to get it checked out.

    tanked yesterday, better today

    Thanks for the advice. I am moving to New ORleans from Sarasota,Fl and wanted to make sure it was tight in case I have a hard time finding a fill location out there. But yeah I am thinking it may be too tight. How long can I live on oatmeal and protien shakes right?! I agree with the tuna fish, even before this last fill. Can not take the pain. Did you try it grilled? Even worse. Funny how some people can do eggs differently too. I can't do boiled or fied, only scrammbled. I read a post the other day of someone who can do only boiled. go figure. what is the deal with beef jerky. Right now that is pretty muchthe only meat I can eat.

    or does the good food items have a harder time going down than the bad food items. I know I can't live on beef jerkey and oatmeal but they are the only things that don't make me feel bad when I eat them.

    weird body shape

    I have no idea what is going on with my body. MY stomach hangs over worse than ever also. Then I have the whole hanging man boobs going on here too. Then there are the thighs. I anm not sure what is going on there, but my problem is the opposite from above. I have to get my pants bigger in the waist so they are not too tight in the thighs. I pray every thing will even out sometime soon.

    WOW - 5 months out already???

    I am down 63 pounds as of today! I am hoping that by losing it kind of slowly maybe it will give my skin chance to catch up. right now my chest and stomach look kind of gross in my opinion, but I would rather have the loose skin than the fat anyday. When I look aat my old clothes I am always saddened/amazed that I was as big(360lbs) as I was.:sneaky:

    How much fill do you have in your 10 cc band?

    Just had my third fill last Friday the 21st. I now have 8cc's in my band. My first fill was 4 then 2.4 then 1.6. I had good restriction with each fill then after losing 20 pounds or so I would need another. I had lost 60 lbs when I got this third fill. Hope I am good for at least another twenty. You would think by now I would be reprogrammed to just eat less. I am doing ok with food choices but just have absolutely no control on portions without the band being tight. I hope maybe I will have aquired enough muscle mass here soon to be able to burn off more than I eat without having to be so restricted. I really hate having to eat the same (easy to swallow) foods all the time. And MAN WHAT I would not give to be able to eat just ONE cheeseburger, just one!:sneaky:
