Got that fill!
I gained 1lbs since November. I was ticked off! The doc and I talked and he said it sounded like it was time for a fill. I asked him what I have total in there and he said 1.9 or thereabouts. He doesn't give me big fills because I can't tolerate a lot....plus with the stuck episode yesterday I was still swollen today. I hope this does something. As I sit here my tummy is growling! I think I'll have some coffee then some cup-o-soup. Onward I go and hope for some results!
Hi Kate,
Yes, I do have the 4cc with lots of room! He's very conservative with me, I'm glad because he doesn't want anyone experiencing heartburn and having lots of pbs.
I explained to him that I've been dealing with a thyroid that's been out of whack for many months and still trying to get the levels right, so hopefully between the fill and the correct dosage of thyroid meds I'll get going. Thanks! You're doing great, by the way. I can't believe you are under goal!! I'm jealous!
Karen,
I like the consevative approach. I've been banded for 2 yrs and am around 5 cc's in my 10 cc band. I don't think I"ve ever felt 'real' restriction but I've managed to lose a lot - 130 lbs. I put on some weight over the holidays and need to get that off so I'm ready for another fill. I have had a couple of episodes....when I'm not paying attention or when I make a bad choice....but I'm so ready to follow in your footsteps and up the fill a bit!
Good luck....I think you're on the way to good restriction!
