4 Fills and 6 Months

Thread Starter  

After 4 fills and 6 months, I finally have "real" restriction. :clap2: My previous fills helped me to lose weight, but I have always been able to eat pretty much anything I want, and had to really work hard not to over eat. Now, I can only eat a few ounces of food, and I have to really chew chew chew, which really slows down my eating too. :hungry: I hope this fill will kick my loss into high gear.

What size band to you have? I have the inamed 11cm/9cc band. I have only had 2 fills and I am at 6cc, do for another fill VERY SOON. This last fill had some restriction, hoping this next is the sweet one, running out of fill room.

Terri,

I have the Inamed VG band. My doctor said it can hold up to 12cc including the tube. I don't know how much I have now, but it must be over 10cc, that is what I had at fill number 2.

Sounds like you may need another fill. Just keep going back until it is right, like I said it took me 4 fills and 6 months.
