  1. Girl you are HOT!!!!! Congratulations on your weight loss and wow the inches are incredible too. I can't wait until we get together to see our progress. The rate you are going you will meet your goal by our band anniversary!! I am not as savy with the computer so no pictures but I am doing great!! It took my second fill to really get restriction. Have you heard anything from Zulma??

  2. Michelle glad to hear things went well with your fill. I had my second fill in St. Pete(6/4) she gave me .6 so I have a total of 2.3 close to what you have. I have on and off restriction but most of the time I have restriction. Did you see Evette in that bikini!! Take some pictures of your river trip and post for us all to see!! Have you heard anything from Lisa??? I haven't heard a word since we got our fills.

  3. I am having my fill in St. Pete tomorrow and they don't charge for the fluro. They do however charge an extra 75.00 if they use barium. The use the fluro to find your port and view the band. Dr. Romero had us drink the barium to see how it flowed after the fill. I'm not sure if I am going to use the barium yet I will wait and see how I feel when I drink after the fill. They charge 379.00 for the initial fill and I think 200.00 there after.

  4. I was also wondering some people already have 3.0cc in a 4cc band in just a couple of fills. I can't remember who it is but they had there band put in Feb 08 and already have 3.0 cc in their band. This doesn't leave much room for future fills. Anyone on the forum reached the max fill in their band? I'm worried that this could happen in a couple of years.

  5. I had a PB episode last night that was awful!! When you spoke of overeating and doing damage to your band this is what I am now afraid of. I was eating some leftovers from Mothers Day. I did chew and chew but it still got stuck. I PB'd and even vomited. When I vomited it made my stomach cramp. I am so afraid of band slippage. I feel better today and will only have liquids today. All you new bandsters keep this in mind when you want to cheat and eat solids before your band has healed. I got my band 2/28 so I should be healed. I can't imagine going through what I did last night with a new band.

  6. Thanks Michelle, it is so frustrating when we reach a plateau. I know that all of us have gone through many plateau's. I for one have given up many times during these times. I think the support of the forum and the information like you provided are great. Another thing I have found is that during these plateau's you are losing inches. I know someone who only weighed themselves once a month but measures herself every week.

  7. Hi Michelle and my other Banster girls Hannah, Lisa, and Zulma,

    I had a 1.7cc fill and I think I have restriction. I so far have been afraid to eat too much (unlike all the eating I did prior to the fill). I do get full after eating about 1 cup of food. I haven't tried more than that. I hope that I continue to feel full. Have been mostly eating protein and veggies. Ate a little rice and it went down OK no bread yet.
