jhawkchick75 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 That is so fantastic! They gave me a 10cc band and that has been my fear that it will take me forever to get restriction. Can't wait to hear about your increased success!! Yea!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisem Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I know you've been waiting so long for this restriction, and I'm so happy for you. I finally have good restriction too, so let the lbs. come OFF! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackovach Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Mona, That is awesome!!! You and I are experiencing the same thing except I have the small band. But I know what you mean about loving the pain!!!! It was shocker for me when I finally understood what they were talking about. I had my 2nd fill last Saturday. When I drink water, my pouch gurgles as the water goes through. I can barely eat 2 tablespoons of food. It hurts like hell if I drink with my meals!!! YIPPEEE....... I am so happy for us both!!! CHEER.. CHEER... HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mona-camille Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 That's great Mona!!! Now you get to learn about all the tiny little bites and getting tired of eating!! Yes, dinner tonight was 3 bites, I'm moving up!! But no veggies yet! This is so cool, I can't believe how long it's been. I never thought it would happen. I was so sure I ruined the band or something. It is such a huge relief to know there is nothing wrong with it and it's finally FREAKING WORKING!

If I was a cheerleader, I would be jumping up and down by now! Thank you so much for your post - I have been so discouraged and frustrated, too. I got the VG band 5/08 and weigh more now than the day I had surgery. I haven't had any restriction, and I'm at 8cc's. I'm going today at 3:00 to get more and see if I can finally experience what you're talking about. I have been feeling guilty that I've "broken" it, done something wrong, wasted money, wasted time, etc. Your post makes me have hope that I just need to keep trying to get it right. Thanks again - Tina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again - Tina. Ask the doctor for at least a full cc to get up to 9. I'm at 9.2 and it's great. Good luck and please let me know how it went after you get home! So sorry for you to go through this but it is very nice to know that I am not alone! I have felt so discouraged and alone in this since March. So, I almost feel vindicated now that there is another out there in my same boat! So, thank YOU too for posting!! We'll get there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
