I had 6.5 cc. He took out 6cc and put back in 2cc. The band has never worked for me. I have always felt hungry and would choke on food all the time. He then informs me that the band only works on about 6 out of 10 people. I never heard of this before. I must be one of the 4.
I was banded Sept 2010. Down a total of 25 pounds. Did that before the band. I am going for another fill today and have lost track of how many fills I have had. What's a sweet spot? I can eat all the food I want.
Let me add, that right before the band, I loss 38 pounds. Right now my goal is to lose 50 pounds. I have read alot of posts on this site about people losing more than 100 pounds. I am not giving up, will keep you posted. thanks.
I beleive I now have a total of 7.5cc in an 11cc band. So far the only thing I have had problems eating is chicken and bread, other wise I could eat all I want. Hopefully this fill will be it. (hopefully)
Just got some new fish oil pills to take and they are pretty large. How do people with the band take large pills? Does anyone have a problem with this?
