Sixth three week check up and I have been way too tight for the past three weeks.  Dr took out .3 cc and was finally able to eat.

All going well.  Fith fill and now have 5.3 cc in my 10 cc band.  Very tight can't get much down but I believe if I wait it out I will loosen up like last time after a week.  57 lbs down in 4 months.

Saw Dr today and got my fourth fill.  Still able to eat more than I would like so he put in .70.  I now have 4.7 in my band, it is very tight this evening.  Tried to eat some jello and it really is not wanting to go down.  I am able to drink but only sips so it will go through slow.  Hope after the swelling goes down I will be okay.  It really sucks to have fills on Friday because if I have a problem then it has to wait until Monday. 

Really getting confused over this whole fill thing.  Last time the Dr told me he left 3.5 in but then today he said there was only 3 cc in there.  Okay why does he tell me one thing and do another?  Oh well on to today.  He asked how all is going and I told him great, I have been hungry but know this is part of the process.  So he says do you think you need a fill and I tell him yes definately.  He says okay lets do .75 cc and I said whatever you think is best, then he says maybe we should just do .50 but then decides on 1 cc.  Okay, so I should have 4cc in my 10cc band.  So I get the fill and he hits it on the first try, I sit and make sure I can drink okay and set my next appointment for 4 weeks because of vacation.  I really hope this fill makes a difference in my hunger.  I am still working out every day for 30 min and have lost another 10 lbs.  So over all I am still very happy with my decision and look forward to losing even more.

Okay so I had my fill today and Dr said that he must have only put in two cc
on my first fill and not the three he said.  He decided because I had no change in my restriction he would add three more to my two for five cc's.  Okay so I went back to work with instructions to just do liquids, I got some skim milk and it was a no go, it all came back up.  I had to go back and see the Dr so he could take some of the fill out.  He took out one and a half cc's so I am now at three and a half cc's in my ten cc band.  Hope this is enough to help with how much I want to eat.  It took him two sticks to get my fill in and then the third one to take some out, man is my port sore....

First fill today, hurt like hell.  Took two sticks to find port, not bad, but the pain around my port is very ruff, still.  I found out that I have a AP Band, size 10 cc.
Dr put in 3 cc for first fill.
