Had my third fill today

gingerbug · March 4, 2008

and it went great. i am up to 4.7cc in my 10cc band. I have not lost much in the last couple of weeks but I had lost about 5 the week before that. It seems that I lose 3-5 overnight then nothing for a couple of weeks. I am expecting my period any moment now so between that getting over with and the fill today I am expecting a nice drop over the next couple of weeks. This would be nice because I am so freaking close to getting into the next size down - sort of in between sizes right now!! I hope everyone is well and is staying healthy!! Dh is offshore diving right now ans wont be home for two more months. My goal is to lose 15 more pounds before he gets home.

You've had 3 fills!? I'm liking your doctor right now! My conservative doc has my first fill scheduled for this week (6 weeks out).

Good luck on your goal! Sounds like you are doing great.

I was able to go in at 4 weeks for my first then it is every 2-4 weeks afterwards. I waited two weeks for my second fill and three for my third.

Wow, I have only had one fill so far. I know that this may sound funny but right now I don't have a lot of restriction and I'm about 2 weeks from getting my second fill, so I am surviving off will power and I like it that way. Now don't get my wrong, I would like it if I had more restriction but being this way also makes me deal with my food addictions.

I have been doing well I have lost 22lbs. so far and will be able to go back to Curves this week.So i'm hoping this will help the weight come off much faster. Gotta look good for my Daughter's wedding on April 4th.

Great, how are you feeling now? I have 5cc's in my 10cc band, and go back on March 20th.

Well I was banded on 10th January and like Brez I have to wait till 10th April to get my first fill. Doc was pleased with my progress but said if I was eating recommended quantities and not feeling hunger then he would leave the fill till next time.
