Smile 3rd Band fill only HALF CC

Hello to everyone.

I went yesterday for my review and was told because of the weight I had lost it would be better to only have half a CC band fill?

I have now lost 3st 8lbs in 12 weeks and am pleased but the pain when they are doing the fills is still awful does this ever get easier? The nurse told me as we loose the weight it is to get to the port??? HELP I am such a baby.

I have set myself a 4st target before xmas as that will be half the weight I want to loose do you think it is possible or am I expecting to much?

I was also told after the yesr the band fills will be £150 per time WOW I better had get down before the year them.....

I got talking to other band people in the waiting room and none of them seem to have set themselves any targets is this usual? One lady had lost 7st last year and look great but had only lost a stone in 3 months she told me it gets slower as we get down I didnt know that I thought with the band it will be quicker.

take care Dianne
