I had surgery Jan. 16. Two fills for a total of 3cc's. I have no restriction yet. I have lost 56 pounds so far. I want this to work so bad that I stick with the diet. I go in again April 18th. Hopefully I will finally feel some restriction.

I just got my second fill yesterday...I'm up to 4.5cc in a 10cc band. I felt some restriction after the first fill, but it went away. I'm hopeful about this time, but who knows?

Hi I was banded on Jan 3rd. I have had 2 fills so far. I forget the amounts. The last fill, I had good restriction, but now I can eat more. So I am going in on Wednesday for a fill. So far since the surgery I have lost 30 pounds but the past couple of weeks my weight goes up 2 pounds and then back down 2 pounds. So I hope this helps.

Hi, I was banded on Jan.3rd. I had my 3rd fill today. I had 5 cc's in a 10 cc band. The doctor put 1 cc in and I couldn't swallow a glass of Water so he took out .6 cc's . So I have 5.4 cc's. I have good restriction.

I have had my first fill on 3/17 for a total of 6.8 cc's in a 9 cc Realize band. I go for my next fill on Tuesday. I am losing very very very slowly right now, maybe one pound each week. Restriction is diminished right now and I am looking for some extra help in losing a little faster.

My goal is 150 before I go back to Turkey on October 16 and I need to lose 1.9 pounds a week to make it. I am exercising vigorously 5-6 days a week and am feeling pretty good. My clothes are looking different on me, from a tight size 18 to a very loose 18 and occasionally 16.

I am not even close to my sweet spot yet, I hope it comes sooner rather than later :0)

Hi

I was banded on January 23rd. I had 2cc's in a 14cc band at time of surgery. I have had 2 fills since.

The 1st fill was 3 cc's and no restriction.

My 2nd fill was 2cc's and my restriction is good now.

Hopefully I will start to lose at a steady pace. I was getting quite discouraged before this last fill.

I feel like I am back on track!!

I was banded Jan 31. My doctor gives you the first fill after 4 weeks and recommends that you come every 3 weeks in the beginning because he feels the new AP bands are less restrictive. I just had my 4th fill.

First fill - 3cc

2nd fill - 2cc

3rd fill - 1cc

4th fill - 1 cc - total 7cc in 10cc APS band.

I had some restriction at 6cc but I could still eat mostly everything in smaller quantities.

Now at 7cc, I think I have a lot more restriction but I am on my 2day

liquid and 2 day mushy stage after my adjustment. I had some difficulty eating cottage cheese but I think it was because I always eat too fast. I'm down 27 lbs and 22 since surgery in 3 months. I may not be losing as fast as others but I am very happy. I will never go back. I am giving away my clothes as they become too big.

Got my 4th fill yesterday. Down to 238 pounds on the docs scale. Still on full liquids so I don't know if I will get anymore restriction. He's really slowed down with the fills now, trying to sneak up on that elusive "sweet spot". I'm afraid I might be one of the post op heartburn sufferers. I don't think I'm overfilled, I haven't had a problem getting anything down.
