I contemplated the idea of having surgery for years. I finally decided to go with the lap-band due to the decreased dangers involved. Getting approval took a little bit longer because my BMI was rather low and I had no comorbidities. My surgery was approved and I had the surgery on February 10,2009. My recovery went very well and I was home within a couple of days. My fills have been extremely slow (I think). I have a 9CC Band and I just yesterday was brought up to 5.5CC's. I don't have much resriction and on each visit, I tell the nurse who performs the fills and she insists that I will get there eventually (1/2 CC at a time). Eventually seems to be forever. I've only lost 8 pounds in 9 months. I had better results with weight watchers. I'm on this site to find a solution and resolve this problem.
