well i went for my first band fill yesterday with wendy at the wls group. I was weighed when i got there and since my first consultation with them at the end of november i have lost another 6lb. Before wendy did my band fill i had a chat with her and i said that i did feel as if there is some restriction there already and she said that she would check before hand as she has found with other patients that have had their surgery with wga and mr sigurdsson that he does actually give a little restriction when he puts the band in, when she checked i already have 4 mils in there so she decided that she would just top me up with 0.5 mil, which i am happy with as i would rather go back and have some more put in sooner rather than suffer to much because it is too tight. She also said that i have already lost 58% of excess body fat which she is really pleased about as they only expcect people to lose that in 1 to 2 years and i have managed that in two months, now i know that i havent got as much to lose as some but this is such an achievement for me and even though this whole wls surgery thing has been a real rollercoaster for me, it is the best thing that i have ever done for myself and i'm sure that a lot of you feel the same. I am on top of the world at the moment, i just hope that it lasts. julie xx
