small fills during weight loss period normal?

[gabbygal23 0]

So I went for my 6th...yes 6th fill today ( i was banded 3/18/08) and the PA made me feel like i am a little crazy....Since being banded i have lost 42 lbs (half way to my goal).....At my 4th fill I started to get .2 cc every 3 weeks or every 6 lbs...(anything more then that is too much and I have had to have some removed... Well I though small adjustments were normal at the losing stage.... the PA thinks i might be becoming a little obsessed....I do believe that everyone has a personal comfort level that they like there band...i think i am more sucessful when my band is on the tighter end of the spectrum....has anyone experience something similar?

Getting nervous that something might be wrong...

Gabby I think you are doing amazing, 42 lbs in 5 months OMG I think the PA is crazy. If you have found a system of fills that works for you what the hell do you care what she thinks. Keep up the great work!

Sounds like you are taking care of business. I got my band on Jan 18,08. I have lost 60 lbs. My first few fills were 1.5 and 1.0, then on my 3rd I got .5 and really had to adjust. I have had a total 6.0cc injected , Funny, I don't feel like I have as much restriction as I once did. But I eat a 1/2 cup salad 3oz meat and 1/2 wheat brd and that will last me for about 6-7 hours. don't get hungry but what I eat has a tendancy to last a lot longer. I try to go 45-60 min. before I drink anything. i have gone from 206 to 145. I have to fight for every lb. I walk 6 miles at a time and do the gym 4x week. I will be happy with 4lb/month now. and then maintain.

You guys keep up the good work. Use that tool!!:smile:
