Re: Questions about the Fill

[Guest guest]

it took me 4 fills to be where i needed to be. i went back every 5 weeks and had another one. and the doctor will determine how much of a fill you get. caprise Judge <thevajudge@...> wrote: Hey all--My banding date was 10/6/06 and I've lost 18 pounds.

Hi

A very good question indeed. I just got my first fill 1.5 CC a

week ago and nothing has changed. I havent lost or gained my inital

weight loss pre-fill was around 30lbs nothing in awhile and i can

eat most anything (except bread & eggs) what is the best indication

that you have a good fill???? I also would like to know.
