Here is my concern. I was banded back in 05', had 1 fill in the first 3 years. I had lost almost 70lbs in the first 2 years, but over the last year I put almost 40lbs back on, and felt like crap. My only fill was 2cc in my 4cc band. You know being a food addict once I figured out that I could almost eat anything I wanted it was only a matter of time before the weight started to comeback. I felt like crap, embarassed, and felt like I should be able to control these poor habits. HELLO STUPID that is why you got banded because you couldn't stop eating poorly, and make bad choices.
Anyway to my point on this delayed restriction thread. After waiting almost a year to finally go in and face the fact that I was struggling, my experience went well my doctor wanted to take it slow so on June 3rd he added .25 to bring me up to 2.25cc.
Leaving the office I felt great about getting back in the swing of things, and felt like I was a little tighter. Well I soon found out that not much had changed .
Within a week I was basically back to where I was before. Not too worried I had a follow up appointment for this past Monday July 7th. Since my June fill I had gained 2lbs, and now I'm wanting to almost go overboard ,and get filled until I can eat no food. However my Dr. is a wise man ,and simply said lets add .25 more to bring you to 2.50cc.
So That is where I'm at right now, and you know what I feel like I might be able to eat more now than before. I can't figure this stupid thing out. How is it possible to get filled ,and feel no restriction at all? Is this common? will it change? Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated
