  1. Happy 63rd Birthday pmitch50!

  2. Happy 62nd Birthday pmitch50!

  3. thank you I just was wondering if something was wrong. If others have had larger fills then I am secure in the fact everything is fine it just will take a little longer. Again thank you for responding. I know everyone is different but hadnt heard anyone past 8.5 in 11 band and was wondering if something was wrong. Whew I feel better
  4. how much in your 11cc band before you hit sweet spot. I am at 8.5 and not there yet just wondering about others.
  5. How much did you get in your 11cc realize band before sweet spot. I am at 8.5 and still not there :smile2:

    Thank you sandi I did make a print out of the article. It does help. I appreciate your help. What you say does make since. I quess I just feel down sometimes because I am not yet at that sweet spot where smaller portions satisfy. I believe that the fear of failure is from past failures. I really believe this will work it just seems like it is taking so long to get to that point where me and my band CAN work together. I have kept my positive thinking up until now. Just having those neg. thoughts. Thank you so much for the help.

    I began at 254 and lost 18 lbs pre surgery and right after. Then it became 1-2 lbs a month. Dr. said I should be able to lose 80 lbs in the 1st year. I have thought I was being patient but after almost 5 months and 4 fills I thought I would be at my sweet spot since my band is 11cc. Like I said it isnt full yet so there is still hope. I just struggle because I still eat alot.

    Hello everyone I am new to the 60's thread. I turned 60 in July and was banded april 30,2010. Have had 4 fills not hit sweet spot yet. I am at 8.5 in an 11cc band. I am getting disappointed that maybe this wont work for me either. I only lost 1 lb this last month. urgggg But I am hanging in there. It hasnt reached 11cc yet so there is still hope but I am almost 5 months out and lost 32 total. Still hanging in there and love this website

    Freaked Out!!!

    I did that as well- my doctor just wanted me to check on my temp regurlarly and called in an antibiotic as well. It stopped after about a week each day kept being less and less. I had surgery April 30 and things have been fine.
  10. I used to be a member of the Y. It was the best. I felt ok doing the classes, especially the water class b/c everyone was older or overweight. B/R is a Breast Reduction. I am starting to heal but it is a slow process. I am doing great with the band though. I go for my 3rd fill next wed.

  11. I had fill 3 days ago on the 14th. I dont feel any restriction either. what is a b/r? hope u r doing ok now. I am thinking of joining the Y. It is either too hot or raining.

  13. sometimes I feel that the spouse doesnt like the idea that u are doing something good for yourself. It is their insecurities.
