I'm GREEN..... I'm GREEN at last!

CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU for the post!

I was banded Dec 18, 2013 and still have NO restriction whatsoever. I see the doc today and I know he plans only to do .25cc getting me to 4.25ccs in my 10cc band. For the first 2 weeks after last fill I thought I was close but these last 2 weeks have been willpower...a will I've been failing miserably at!

I keep hearing the Nutritionist tell me "the first 12 months after surgery are the fastest moving" and I'm thinking "ummm, I have 7 months left and I'm not doing too great..."

Shana, we've had similar journeys. I lost 12 lbs right after surgery and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. It wasn't till my 3rd fill, 4 months out of surgery that I finally started to feel some restriction/satiety with the band. My surgeon was cautious too, maybe not as cautious as yours but it can happen with your next fill. If not, you need to press him a little?

Almost a year and a half after surgery I am finally in green. I've been feeling so great, band doing exactly what it's supposed to. I'm afraid its going to go away or something.
