I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BAND:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

ok just a few weeks ago i was a little unsure that this was going to work. seeing as how i have been at a standstill since the first month of surgery. i was a little disappointed that i didn't have the gastric bypass instead, but i had another 0.5cc fill last friday (for a total of 2cc) and it was what i needed!!! i feel control-it is like the cravings were reduced by 75% or more. i really don't care what i eat as long as i eat when i am truely hungry. i feel motivated. i feel awesome. (that awesomeness may be from working out every other day though) hey i even quit drinking with my meals--now that my band is working i figured i might as well work with it! i know i know, it should have been the other way around but hey what can i say, for a nurse i am pretty noncompliant!
good luck to everyone who is struggling you will get there!!!!!!

That is so awesome! I'm hoping for the same thing with my 2nd fill on Sat. I can eat as much as preband right now. I'm glad to see there is hope!

:biggrin1: Jen, reading your post made me smile, lol. It is so good to see people post about how happy they are with their bands and that they are loving it. I started really loving mine after I got my first fill too. Restriction is a beautiful thing!

Congrats, you deserve it,
I'm so glad your band is working for you and yes I agree the fill is the key for help. I got my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago and it has worked wonders. I too am about at the same, 2.25 but now it is t.o.m. and I can tell I'm eating a tad more and had my first pbing incident yesterday and it was horrible. It hurt so bad but I made it through it.

I had said I wasn't going to post with all of the stuff that was going on with the people talking so nasty on here but I feel this is my home as much as anyone's and I don't have a single problem with noone so I'm going to try it but just try to not post very much. I just wanted to say how proud for you I was.
