miss woo 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Hi, I am new! I feel very green at this forum lark but I am desperate to chat to other banded people and get some answers to my questions! I was banded last November and since then I have had 3 fills. I have lost no weight (other than the 2 stone I lost pre op) and have not felt any restriction! :thumbup: My 3rd fill was last week and I've been experienceing lots of discomfort and pain. I am a bit restricted but I am worried that I can still eat, what I consider, too much! Is it normal to feel this discomfort? It's like a mild intergestion. (By the way I can't spell to save my life!!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vballmom 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Miss Woo, What size is your band? I was banded Dec 07 and Ive lost 61 pounds. I have a size 10 cc Realize band. I've had three fills with a total of 5 cc's. I have excellent restriction in the mornings. As the day goes by I can eat more than I should. I am still losing but at a much slower rate. I try daily to get my 60 grams of Protein. The only time I have upset stomach is when I over eat or eat too fast. I have been able to lose because I can't eat bread and I stay away from sweets. Have you had your fills done under xray? If you continue to feel reflux symptoms, then contact your doctor. As for losing weight It's possible you just haven't had enough fills to achieve good restriction. Good luck.
