THIS IS MY THIRD LAP BAND! THE FIRST ONE SLIPPED AND WAS REMOVED IN MAY OF 2010 AFTER LOSING 201 LBS.I WAS 102 LBS WHEN IT WAS REMOVED. THEN I GOT ANOTHER 4 CC BAND ON DEC 22, 2010, BUT IT WAS TOO TIGHT SINCE I HAD SCAR TISSUE FROM THE FIRST SURGERY SO MY DOCTOR PUT IN A NEW NON-FDA APPROVED LAP BAND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIGGEST ONE ON THE MARKET. I GOT MY FIRST AND SECOND FILLS, IT WAS 12 CCS BEFORE I GOT RESTRICTION!!! IS THAT RIGHT? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THEY KNOW HOW BIG THE BIGGEST LAP BAND IS!?!?!?! I GOT MY FILL DONE ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO, AND I LOST 10 LBS ALREADY! PLEASE HELP. THAK YOU EVERYONE!

I LOVE U SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME FEEL BETTER! MY FIRST BAND WAS 4CCS AND I LOST 201 LBS WITH THAT, SINCE I FELT NO RESTRICTION AT 12CCS SO FAR, I WAS SCARED I WASNT GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT... WELL I TAKE THAT BACK I DO FEEL A LOT OF RESTRICTION, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT I WILL STOP FEELING RESTRICTION SOON!!! SO I THOUGHT I WAS SCEWED! THANK U FOR MAKING ME FEEL BETTER. AND THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY ALICE

I'm desperate... After my first fill, i was summoned back because he said he might not have filled me enough... i went back for my second fill and now im way too tight... I'm almost 2 months post op... I cant consume anything... I miss chewing... i'm craving meat... im dying here... does anyone have any suggestions... I can only tolerate liquids and yogurt... even ice cream doesnt go... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated....:tongue2:
