Banded 11/25
Hey everyone. I was banding on 11/25 in Milwaukee by Dr. Burhop. Had a textbook surgery and a very easy recovery (almost too easy). I have never felt any kind of restriction since day one. I mean after surgery I would have paid BIG BUCKS to have some food. So I told myself not to get too stressed cause I would be back on solids soon and I would also have a fill soon too! I had my first fill on 1/5 - thought it was a great way to start off the new year. Since that date I have still not felt any restriction what so ever. I can eat anything that I choose to. I got a fill of 2 cc's in my 4 cc band - can you see why I am so discouraged? My band is 1/2 full and I don't feel anything. I have lost 30 lbs and I know that is something to be proud of. But what bothers me is the fact that all that weight I have lost was pre-fill. I haven't lost anything sinc then. I have been trying to follow (atleast 85% of the time) the bandster way. Does anyone have some suggestions?
