you are almost there...good luck to ya...you will do fine..we must tell our self we will die young if we dont have this done...the first 4 weeks are recovery and take advantage of quick weight loss because it slowws up when food is added.....I will say a prayer for you and let me know how you do. I stayed over night.for insurance reasons. some people stay for several days..but keep positive thoughts in your head. I bought me a size large top and plan to wear it this winter. i am in a 3-2x now. watch those carbs...i ate potted meat when i started eating food. i felt food deprived because i am always eating alot of food..........eating habits around here have sure changed. my puppy thinks i dont love her any more but she is starting to like yogart!!!good luck......

Hello all,

I was Banded on 06/02/08. I have lost 55lbs. It fluctuates between 55 - 60 with what I assume is Water retention or bowl movements. I am on my second fill and honestly I can't even feel the band most of the time unless I touch it. I know my doc & the office personnel look at my strangely when they ask if the banding seems any different and I say no. While obviously it has helped, my eating seems to be the same for portion size, but I eat a whole lot less as far as caloric intake. In addition I do eat a lot better. I think there has only been three times when I have felt a minor stuck feeling, but other than that I do alright. For the past 3-4 weeks I have been steady at 55lbs loss, but I am alright with that, at least for now. I have been reading and see where many didn't start the loss until the 3rd fill or 6cc's. I have 2 and with 3 or 4cc's... Can't remember how much they had when they put it in, but each fill was 1.5 so far. I have a hard time getting the 80 grams of Protein in, but I am dedicated and the shakes help a lot and I like the taste of the 3 I use...Time will tell and I am using the Band as a tool and not as a miracle... Feel free to ask questions, but I am just doing one day at a time.:tongue:

I am in the same boat as you. I was banded on 6-18-08 and and I have lost 40 lbs so far, post op. I had my fist fill on Friday. I got 1cc in a 10cc band. I did not want a large fill as I am doing well without one. I just thought it was time. My Dr. said he normally gives two to three cc on the first fill but not with me and I was fine with that.
