I went to get weighted last Tuesday I was down by 2kg great considering I was always hungry and had no restriction at all. The doc decided to get the fluid out the band well low and be hold it was -2mls doc said that was the case sometime. I had tried for a good couple of months to have a fill but was pasted on to speak to the dietician. So when the doc said about -2mls being missing I knew something was,t right. I now have 10mls in my band I can only eat roughly 4 spoonfuls of food which is a big improvement to eating a whole big bowl of say stir fry. I am making funny gurgling noises when I eat and drink but at least I now have good restriction.:cry_smile:

Omg what a difference a year makes you look wonderful you are like a different person. How much weight have you lost? It,s my 1st year been banded on the 24th nov so i know a great change in myself i now have my life back after weighting in at over 350lb i am now down to over 126lb. Very well done

well I have been down in the dumps now for well over a month my problem is I am always hungry and no restriction I have been trying to get a fill for ages now my last fill was in June, I have 9cc in my band. I am going back to see the health team tomorrow to get weighted so I am hoping they might fill it then for me. I am taking a bowl with me which I eat my stir fry and pasta from and I have also took a photo to show them how much I can eat the bowl is full to the brim. I think my mood is low as nxt month see my 1st year post op on the 24th Nov I found a price list for band fills etc which don,t come cheap? The first year is all a fixed price you see.

This is happening in mid of Sept, I can,t wait to chat with other people to see how they are getting on. I am now over my 8 stone my 1st anniversary of me being banded is coming up on 24th Nov I just wished that I was banded years ago.
