Yep I went to get a little taken out and doc stuck me a few times and then sent me to xray. Going tomorrow for the surgery for a flip. Did you have a local and all was good?

Hi there, I'm back after another fill. I am @ 6.00cc now and now feeling sweet... But the scale isnt moving. I always lose after an intial fill then I seem to stall. I am thinking of upping my workout but that could be the reason since I am lifting weights. SO just wanted to share be patient it will show up. I felt nothing till this last round and see the doc again this Monday and I think I am good so no more fills for now I guess.

Hi I am Tonya banded 9-08-09. Finally reached my sweet spot and the scale is moving and so are the inches off my body. Feeling fantastic and down 45lbs so far. I have been a drifter on this sight but need friends so I guess I am homeless. Have had the sliming and throwing up episodes and I know it was me learning to work with the band. Now I think we are working together as I take the first tiny bite.... it is almost work till it becomes habit... Thanks everyone for your support:thumbup:

U can drive yourself insane with the scale. It's evil. I used to be obsessed. I mean if I had a BM I would weigh myself. Crazy? So I do take my measurements and redo them 1x a month. Weigh once a week is the most we should get on but I find the glory in feeling my clothes falling off and inches coming off like the ab area. Numbers are numbers but how I look and feel is what counts...

K so I had .50cc added yesterday and I should be at my sweet spot the Dr says. I had a 8 lb lost over 5 weeks. But I told him I get the lost in the first few weeks then I stall and nothing. Well see. I want to be SWEET....

Thank you for your input. I think I am almost there. Go see the doc today and he will judge by my eating patterns if he wants to adjust me or not...

Shrinking Septembers??

So what are the symtoms of the sweet spot? I thought I was there so I skipped a fill. Now I am hungry and no lbs lost. Sept 09 banded. filled @ 5.5cc on a10cc band

Hi there, I was banded the day before you 9-8-09. I have had 3 fills and this last one I was having to adjust,thought this was it, so I rescheduled my next fill for 2 more weeks and now I feel like I don't have the restriction and no weight loss. I have good weight loss right after a fill then it tapers off and I struggle to maintain that loss. My doctor said I should be getting to my spot soon according to my height. I have the lap band AP max fill 10cc. Now at 5.5cc.I heard it does take time and then you should be good. But I like you am struggling with hunger and trying to eat my protein to stay full. So hopefully we see the light soon.... Good Luck:smile:

Yeah down 39 now and consistently losing 1-2lbs a week. Right where I want it to be.. Good Luck and let me know...:thumbup:

I know I am not a doctor but I had my band put in 9-8-09. I have 5.5cc's and have great restriction. Having 4 adjustments I asked my doctor how do you know I should be close to my "sweet spot". He told me isn't how fat you are but how tall you are. I am 5'2" and definitely feeling it now and right now don't want any more adjustments. I was wondering if you have been checked for leaks in your port??? I hope things get better and you start losing!!! kip:smile:
