Just Checking In - How's Everyone Doing. Got Another Fill Today.



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, Its been a while since I've checked in with everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I am almost at my 6 month timeframe and the last 3 weeks have been long and slow. I have been up and down 2 pounds. I am also hungry than I have been in the past and I can eat about a cup of food at each sitting. I started working out (just a little) so I think I am just at a plateu. I decided to go see my doctor just in case. Oh boy, I received a big fill today at 1cc. My doctor has always told me that she can tell how tight I am by the resistance she feels when she sticks the neddle in. Today there was no resistance so she "filled" me up :) I hope its not too much as I have never gotton stuck so far and don't want to!

How's everyone doing on their journeys?

My dr said the same thing! In fact, about a year ago (before my band slipped), he told me that I was "filled to capacity" at only 10cc in a 14cc band because the plunger pushed itself out without him even trying. Told me that resistance means I'm full. I was so worried that I'd be full forever, never again able to take another fill. Dummy me complained about that and what happened? A slip. Wish I was just full now!

Good luck!

Marci,

I've heard that before. What happens exactly when the band slips? What do you have to do? Just curious.
