Time for a fill

[skinnygirl 1]

have been able to eat pretty much anything for the last month as long as I take tiny bites and chew chew chew. When I can eat small amounts of bread its time for a fill. Going this week can't wait till i'm all tight. Not sure how much to get I have 3ccs in my band. The last fill I got 1cc and was tight for a good while almost to tight. Leaving for vacation in a week and half so I don't want to over due it. My drs office is 2 hours away so I won't be going back for an unfill before I leave for vacation don't have enough hours in the day to schedule that. So what do u guys think 1cc or half. i do want to be really tight cause vacations people tend to eat more and gain. But then agian I don't want to be missreable. So Lets see who thinks 1cc? who thinks half cc? whichever with most votes I'm gonna do cause I can't make up my mind.

i need to lose weight on vacation have an appointment with ps when get back. Have to have a huge double hernia surgery in Dec so my Dr has recomennded me get a full Tummy Tuck at the same time. he says the hernia is so huge that when he puts my intestence back the skin hanging will pull down effect. That could cause the hernia to come back. he is going to try and get it approved by my insurance. But they usually won't cover it. But I am prepared to pay for it if they won't. My hernia has gotta so bad i need to have it done soon as possible. and while my deductable is met. So I'm gonna put it off till his last surgery in Dec too by me some more weight loss time. I want to weigh at least 170 wish I could pull off 160 but I don't have enough time. Already doing all the exersise and dieting that I can fit into each day with work and the kids and my other resposibilitys. SO GUYS NEED YOUR HELP WHAT DO U THINK?

If you were a newbie, I would say, "don't get any fill before your vacation." But you're not a newbie. You've been living with your band for almost 2 years and, by now, are fully aware of life with it. If you think you can go on vacation so full that you may not be able to eat much if anything...I say GO FOR IT and get 1cc. I know that if I went on vacation overly tight, I would be fine. I know how to deal with it. I'm sure you do too.

That depends on you ! Do you want to be content ? or do you really want to try to tighten up ?

I would be careful so I can enjoy myself, and not have to worry about who is going to take some out while on vacation.

Let him fill you, then with the needle still in port sit up. Now start swallowing Water. When he is to tight, motion with your hand, and he will back off.

I have had that done, and it's a good method for a fill.
