Down another 4lbs

Corgi · June 20, 2005

Well, I was disappointed went for my 7 week follow up and 2nd fill and only down 4 more pounds, BUT I have to say I'm headed in the right direction. The PA told me to start excercising more. Five days after my 1st fill I had to go back due to excessive vomiting and I get an unfill, the PA told me that I am behind schedule far as cc's are concern, I should have more in my band at this point, but because of my problem they don't want to put in too much and have me come back again due to vomiting, so they are going to take it slow with me. My first fill was 1.75cc, then unfilled -.25cc, today they filled me another +.35cc's for a total of 1.85cc. The office said to come back in 8 weeks and then they will put me on a regular fill scheduled, don't know what that meant. Anyone I'm happy, I haven't seen these numbers on the scale in about 3 years.

CONGRATS!

I think a slow and steady loss is great! I am moving at about the same pace as you and I so far have no sagging skin yet but have lost nearly 40 pounds.

Hurrah Corgi! You are doing great! Adding excersize is probably always a good idea, but "behind schedule?" (looks perplexed...) what an odd concept.

Huge Congrats on your weight loss , I am happy for you andalso glad you got the tight fill taken care of, Very Smart!

Do not take this the wrong way but how does your PA know this? Everyones fill level and level of restriction is so different. I may have 1cc's and have great restriction where as someone else may have 1cc and not have any restriction. You have only been banded for 3 months and have all ready had 2 fills, I do not think that is behind at all. I had 3 fills in 14 months which validates my point that everyones restriction is different.
