Wow that is great you have lost. I am still waiting. Clothes are just as tight as ever. I saw that you were banded the same day I was so I sent the friend request. I like to see how others are doing. It gives me hope that this will eventaually work. Let me know how that 5-day pouch test goes. Since I had my 3rd fill yesterday I seem to not be as hungry and I am eating less. So that is good. I have another appt on monday for another fill just in case. I totally understand about the rollercoaster feelings. I have been getting so depressed on here reading how great everyone is doing and losing. Wondering if I made a huge mistake by having this surgery. Keep in touch.

When was your last fill? Call and see if you can get in earlier. I did. I called yesterday and got in an hour later. I know I am getting fills pretty fast but I just want this to start working. I don't know how these people wait 6 weeks between fills. I would go nuts.

Restriction is when you can eat a small amount and feel full. I think this 3rd fill which puts me at 6.7cc may do the trick. I hope. I noticed last night I ate a small plate of food and was full. Although I was hungry again about 3 hours later. They say it should keep you full for 5 hours. So I may need to get another fill next week. I am going to wait and see how this week goes. I can actually feel it working for once. Meaning I am not hungry as much and little amounts of food get me full. Still not at that point where some can eat only 5 bites and are full. But I am working on it. I just want to see some loss. I think that will help modivate me. I think you will know when you hit that sweet spot. You won't be hungry and get full on a little amount of food. I know we will get there soon.

Hi, how are you doing? Went in for my 3rd fill today. I had her put in another 1cc. Took a sip of water and it hurt a little trying to get it down. So she took out .5 and I seem to be ok now. I really am hoping this does the trick. Do you have any restriction on your last fill? Now that Christmas is over I can really concentrate on this more.

Right now I am at 6.2cc. I go in this tuesday for another fill. I am hoping this will work. I still am not losing a thing.

No, I have no success so far. Just had my 2nd fill 12/30 which puts me at 6.2 cc's. I have another appt for my 3rd fill on 1/6, next tuesday. I am hoping that gives me some restriction. I have not lost anything but I am gaining. LOL

I feel some restriction after the 2nd fill. Things get stuck going down sometimes if I am not chewing a lot. I just have a sip of drink and it helps. I know were not suppose to. She also told me that may not work when I am tighter. So I am not as hungry and it seems to be working a little. I have another appt on tuesday for another fill. Hopefully that should do it. I can tell if I was a little more tighter I would be good. Deaana said that the average range for the sweet spot was anywhere from 6-8cc. So we will be there soon. When is your next fill?

How is it going? Did you get a fill yet? I just got my 2nd one today and I am hoping to get some restriction. I stil have none. Just been gaining over the holidays. Oh joy! Happy New Year!

I felt fine after the first fill. I was able to drink ok. The only thing I had problem with was I was so hungry the next day, I sat down to have some deli turkey meat and cheese and I did not chew well so it got stuck and boy that hurt. But I drank something quick and it unstuck. But now I know what that pain is like. LOL. I am hoping today when I go in I can get some restriction. I really don't want this to be another failed attempt at weight loss. Which is where it looks like it is going. UGH! What nurse did you have when you got your fill?
