cnewstine 0 Posted November 17, 2010 When did you feel like the band was working for you? I'm two months post op and never feel full. Am I expecting too much? I've had one fill so far. 6 cc's in an 11 cc band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenn90808 0 Posted November 17, 2010 What an amazing transformation! Congrats to you. I am seeing my Dr. today (4 weeks post op) and was considering asking him just to take the thing out. Seeing your success makes me want to give it some more time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LowPSI 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Awesome! Now that you're where you want to be weight-wise, what, if any changes are you making to the Band. ie: how much, if any, restriction do you have or want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soon2bethin 0 Posted November 17, 2010 What an amazing transformation! Congrats to you. I am seeing my Dr. today (4 weeks post op) and was considering asking him just to take the thing out. Seeing your success makes me want to give it some more time. Why do you want it taken out already? One month is not really enough time to know what it can do for you. You should give yourself some time to heal and adjust to the band. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
