actually have given up on me which has been very painful. It seems
the only way I can lose weight is when the band is so tight that all
I do is vomit. That happened to me recently with a fill up to 6 but
I was even throwing up my protein drinks. When the doctor removed 1
cc once again my feet and legs began to swell again to the size of
telephone poles and the weight I had just lost was back again. I
also feel that the doctor does not believe that I am working at
losing weight. Since this was not the first time to go back and
forth between 5cc's and 6cc's I was hoping he would try 5 1/2cc's to
see if that was my "sweet" spot but he refused. I continue, as I
have from the beginning, to try different diets but it does not make
a difference. I realize that I am a failure at the exercise but I
have a job where I sit all day ( I do spend a lot of my lunch break
just walking around the office) but

does not allow a lot of exercise without terrific pain. I still
think this is a great tool but I just haven't had the success I had
hoped for. Have you had any fills?
