Congrats on your loss! I had my banding in early September and am down a total of about 30 lbs since I began the pre-op journey. I have had a fill at each of my monthly visits up until the one last week. My dr started me out with 3 ccs, added another 1.5 the first month and another 1 cc last month. It wasn't until the second fill that I started feeling like the band was making much of a difference in my hunger levels, although the amount I could eat at one sitting was certainly diminished! I lost 7 pounds from my November to December dr's appointments, but I decided to hold off on adding any additional until my January appointment. I, too, am feeling so much better physically!!!! I've been able to reduce my high blood pressure meds almost completely! And I'm down two pant sizes.
I'm so afraid I'm going to do something to mess it up, but my dr keeps reminding me that we can always adjust the amount of Fluid in the band......a definite plus over any of the other procedures!
Keep up the good work!
