2nd fill successfully done

yippieeeeeeeee my 2nd fill went very smoothly.....I now have 3cc's in my band.....i lost another 5 lbs since my last visit which brings me post op to a 20 lbs loss and 20 lbs pre op meaning ive lost 40 lbs!!!!!!!!! I just cant believe FINALLY im starting to see results of this weight loss surgery and im so very excited and thankful that I went through with it  I told some people today at Dr Clarks office in the waiting room about this website and how helpful it is and about the lapband message board as well.....Its amazing how many out there have no clue this board exist....I know there was about 7 people in the waiting room with me and NONE of them knew about the board....I told them about the clothing exchange also and they were like OH YEH!!!!! lolololol

congrats on your fill!! Hope your feeling better.

Heather did you get a 4 cc band or the 10 cc band? Just wondering.

10cc i believe

I was just wondering because I've read a lot that most 10 cc bands tend to need 4 to 6 cc's before most start feelings a near sweet spot sensation. I had a friend I made during my banding experience and we ended up being banded about three weeks apart. She started with a 4 cc band and unfortunately ended up having a slippage and having to have that band removed and a 10 cc band put in it's place. She's somewhere near 6 cc's now but I remember her stating that she didn't even begin to feel any restriction till she was near 4 cc's. It just amazes me the difference in weightloss pregression between the two different banding sizes. But congrats and hang in there because you are doing an amazing job and should be awfully proud of yourself. Jodi

Congrats on your progress, sounds like you're doing great!!
