Hello all, Jpet I understand how you feel!!I now have 5.6 cc's in my 10cc band .I cannot eat very much at all until I start PB ing or throwing up. Iam not feeling hungry at all. At first after this fill I thought maybe I was too tight,but now I believe I'm where I need to be. Please if any of you have an opinion about this tell me. I get a little confused about all this jaunderwood:confused2:

Hello all, I too am a nurse. I'm from Kentucky. Most of my nursing career has been in Public Health.I worked as a Clinical Director of a county health department for 22 years I retired last year. I like this post . Nurses unite!!! I had my surgery on Feb. 26 2008. I've only lost 25 lbs.I lose so slowly. I try to exercise most days of the week.I've joined a gym and I walk.I love my band even though I wish I would lose faster, Jaunderwood

My Doc said I have a "knotty" stomach that makes it difficult to tell where the port is!! jaunderwood

I went to my Dr. today to get a fill. He couldn't find my port and I have to go for flouro tomorrow,but the worse part is I haven"t loss any weight for 5 weeks!! Iwas so disappointed because I have been eating right and exercising. Jaunderwood

Hello all, I too believe everyone is different about how much it takes to feel full. I find I'm never hungry but I do want several cups of coffee a day!! I use creamer in my coffee and I wonder if that's keeping me from only losing a pound a week!! jaunderwood:lol:

Hello all!! Has anyone had any problems with increased calcium? My doc says my is increased to 11.4,Norm is <10 jaunderwood

Hello all, I had my first fill today. My Doc only put in.3cc!! He said that was enough!!I had the fill by floroscopy. Is that possible to need only .3cc in my band? Some of you veterans what do you think? jaunderwood
