I'm new!!!

Hi,

I'm from the UK and have been banded for 6 months but it hasn't been a easy journey for me.

After 2 unsuccessful fills it was discovered I had a leaking port. I was re-ported (if thats a word!!) nearly 2 weeks ago and I now have a fill of 2cc.

I do have some restriction, but not as much as I thought I would have. The usual foods like bread etc I have problems with but pretty much everything else is ok.

I also don't really get the 'full' feeling as yet.I am aliitle concerned that because I have had no restriction for all this time and have been eating quite normal I may have stretched my pouch.

Or do you guys think its just another fill I need?

I have been told that in the US you have your band placed differently to us here.

I have a band that holds 4cc maximum. Is that the same for you all? Also, people here only seem to have 2.5cc and that is enough for them but I see here some of you have alot more than that.

Sorry for all the questions but I have only just found this group and I am very desperate for some answers!!!! I am feeling worried that this won't work for me.

I have only lost 14lb post op. That was 6 months ago!!
