Ken, you are VERY welcome, I help when and where I can Just wait, that 5cc

can settle in and give you more restriction the next week or so. It's funny how

it does that. Great job on the 50 pounds so far!

Thanks , Yes I got 7cc but they backed it off to 5 cc and seems to be ok,

I actually wish it was more restrictive but I realize things have to go slow. In

less then 2 months I am down just under 50 lbs.....I did well on the fasting.

Thanks thought for your comments and everyone who has done this only wants it to

work.........by god lets make sure it does!!! HARUMPH!!!!Ken>> >

Ken! They gave you 7cc for a FIRST FILL???? What goobers! I have a VG and they

gave me 6cc for my first fill and I was slammed shut immediately. My husband was

given 4cc for his first and that was perfect. They backed out the extra 2cc in

my band and it was perfect. When I questioned the 6cc I received versus the 4cc

my husband received and I was told that they had just returned from a band

conference where they standard was changed to 6cc hence the increase. Conference

or not, I'm proof that everyone is very different when it comes to fill levels.

I do know some people who have gotten 6cc as a first fill and did fine, but I

still think it's too aggressive too soon. JMHO. > > To:

Ken, If you're losing, it doesn't matter at this point how much you

are eating! If you're losing, you're clearly eating enough less to

los! :-)

We are never trying to eat as little as possible. We need to meet the

nutrition and calorie goals to lose safely and in a way that will not

return.

If you're losing , you also do not need a fill. we want as little

fill as we can have to still get some help from the band. We NEVER

want as much fill as we can possibly tolerate - the more fill, the

more risk of problems, including the very serious ones.

Please ask if any of this does not make sense, or is different than

you thought. Very important to understand all this, for the sake of

band safety.
