Jan 08 bandster fill poll

[kcintx 0]

ok.. I got my second fill today.. first one was April 5-- input 1.3, then today, he gave me 2.3 I had lost 1cc somewhere. The doc asked me if I had been sweating alot? yep, it's Texas, everyone sweats in Texas!!!! har

So, I'm sitting here with 2.3 in 4cc band.. I cant belch to good right now.. drinking fluids for 48 hrs. We'll see..

He let me hear via stethoscope, my Water passing thru, he counted and said he had cut my intake from 6 to 12 as it passes into the lower stomach. I don't know how big my pouch is. I do know that, I was hungry all the time.. But I guess so, I only had .3 and that was just making chicken uncomfy to pass if it was too dry..

So, I'm ready to see what this fill will bring. Sounds like everyone is doing ok.. Whoever it was that mentioned all the food, that does sounds like a lot to me, even with the small fill left I had, I can't eat a hamburger.. but I can eat the soft food, like there is no tomorrow!!!

I had surgery on Jan 30th have lost 32 pounds....Dosen't seem like enough. I have had 2 fills, 3cc's the first time could eat everything... Then the next one put in 1 1/2 took out 1/2, gaging So ...... 4 cc's in a 10cc band. Some days I feel it's working well I almost gag on Water other days I don't think it's there could eat the cabinet doors of the kitchen and not be happy. What's going on????? can't get ticker to work for some reason today.

NINJA>>>>>>> on your level of restriction- do you hurt when the food does go thru? I've got 2.3 in a 4cc band and pressure even with Water. hmmm Maybe to tight? with the restriction are you full and then it passes, do you feel it passing?

ugh... I need my sweet spot, but I think I'm too tight, just got more last friday.. its only been 48 hrs.. but dang the pressure..
