Amazing Can you please share with me more details of what you were doing as far as eating and excercising to help make this possible? I have plateaued at 200 and went and get another fill today. Hopefully I can lose at least another 30 to 40 lbs by my birthday next month. Thanks for any advise you may be able to provide. Thanks again, LaWanda

I was banded April 4, 2009 and yes I have lost some weight most was from my own hard work (measuring my food and exercising).

She put 2.5cc i have a 4cc band. I had 3 fills prior to going to see her and the other doctor said I was at 2.2, not she only pulled .6 out of me. That is far from 2.2, so her 2.5 added to my .6 that she put back put me at 3.1. I feel wonderful to finally tool functioning.

I had the best fill today and I do mean the best. Dr. Stephanie Eijsink did my fill today and for the first time in 3 months I felt and still feel restriction. I lost some weight, but most of it was from restricting myself and exercising, not the band. I finally went to see her cause I heard nothing, but good things about her. I've read about other people and their restrictions and never had a chance to feel it for myself. Not to mention, I had 3 fills prior to finally going to visit her. I actually weighted in at 213 this morning and weighted in at 211.5 before going to bed. I've been drinking my liquids today as she said and has had no desire for food. I can go on and on. If you feel like your spinning your wheels with your current fill doctor like I was, you might want to give her a call.

Thanks, but I'm going to Stephanie Eijsink tomorrow, instead of Saturday. I've heard nothing but excellent things about how she makes sure your fill is tight since she uses the fluro.

She's going to be in Tyler, Texas this weekend, I live in Houston and is going to Tyler on Saturday. She want be back in College Station until August 8, and I can't wait that long it will be time for another fill by then.

I live in Houston and is suppose to have a fill done with Dr. Stephanie Eijsink on Saturday, 7/4/09. Do you live in Houston maybe we can meet and possibly carpool she charges 200.00 and she do all her fills under fluro.

Hello I'm a newbie banded 4/4/09. Any idea when I should start excercising? I do a little walking here and there, but not sure when to really start excercising.:sad:
