Hey ya'll! I was banded June 24th and I am down 48 lbs, my three month check up will be tomorrow. I know exactly the bander hell you are referring to. I had a fill of 2 cc's in a 10 cc band about 5 weeks after surgery and waiting those five weeks was horrible and after the fill I felt a little bit of satisfaction. That lasted me about 6 weeks and then I started working out a little harder and I was starving all of the time and really could eat anything but I relied on my willpower at that point. I got my second fill about a week ago and I finally feel like this is where I am supposed to be. It took some patience and some hard core will power to get here but now that I have hit my sweet spot, it feels really good. I now have to be really careful when I am eating anything really to eat slow and chew chew chew or it will get stuck. Brittany, know that you are not alone and we are all here to support you!! The feeling of being hungry all the time is so hard and I hope that your doctors are good about seeing you asap when you feel that way. Boo cakes... the liquid phase was so hard for me, I cried and to be honest if I never EVER see a blended cream of celery Soup again it would be too soon. Good luck and know that happier days are to come! XOXO Lindsi

I was banded 6/24/09 and I have lost about 37 lbs. I have had one fill and I'm seeing my doctor for a possible second fill next week. Sounds like we are all on our way to where we would like to be!
