i'm at 3.8cc after my 3rd fill, but i have a 10cc band. i'm curious if there are any 10cc bandsters out there that are completely filled to 10cc! that would blow my mind!

i've seen several posters on here that had a 10cc band that were up to 5 or 6 cc's...but never anyone closer then that to 10cc's.

sorry, didn't mean to still your thred, but is ANYONE at the full capacity of their band whether it be a 4cc or a 10cc band?

please let us know! inquiring bandsters want to know!

xoxo, christie

I have someone in my support group that is at 9cc in a 10cc band. Do you feel very restricted? I noticed you're from Houston. Me too. Would you be interested in joining a support group meeting?

i am VERY interested in joining a support group....but here's my problem with that....

in actually closer to baytown then houston, and the houston (dr.spivak) support group meetings are in the middle of the work week and during the evening.

i'm a stay at home mom, but my hubby works nights, so childcare is very limited for me. i really have no one other then my mom to rely on for babysitting and even that is limited since she's the ONLY person i have, i try not to abuse the priviledge.

if there is anything more local, closer to baytown, then YES, i'm soooo very interested!!!!

where do ya'll meet and what day/time?

xoxo, christie

oh, and i just got my 3rd fill yesterday at dr.spivaks office. i'm now at 3.8 cc and i do feel like i have more restriction.

however, my first fill and my third fill went well, my 2nd fill i lost over 1/2cc so there wasn't that much restriction.

i'm soooo very happy w/the 3rd fill though! so far today i'm getting full off of approx. 1/2 cup as opposed to last week when i was able to eat up to a cup and a 1/2 at a time!!! YIKES!

still losing, but so much more restriction and motivation now!

down 30lbs in 3months, and thats 30lbs i'll never have to look in the mirror at again! woohooo!!

xoxo, christie

We actually meet in Pasadena off Beltway 8 and Fairmont Pkwy at the Starbucks inside Target. Kids are welcome also. We've had a couple people bring their kids. It's no problem at all. We meet every Thursday from 6 to around 8pm.

does anyone ever bring their UNbanded spouses along w/them?

so, will ya'll be meeting tomorrow night???

if so, i may try to join ya'll, but only if i can talk hubby into coming home and going straight to bed in order to watch our son while i go. he doesn't leave for work until 10pm-ish....and it sounds like ya'lls group meeting may be a lil bit closer then driving downtown to dr. spivaks.

i really wish there was a baytown, texas group that could meet!

maybe i'll try to start one.

exactly what sort of things do ya'll discuss at these meetings?

thanks for the info!

lemme know if ya'll will be meeting tomorrow night or not.

xoxo, christie

Actually we will be meeting at Johnny Tamales tonight for a little Christmas get together. It's maybe a mile past Fairmont where we normally meet. We have had some people bring their spouses. Message me if you would be interested in going this evening.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
