:confused:Just a quick overview. I was banded May 28th. I have now lost a total of 42-44 pounds (it varies a pound or two every day) I dont lose a pound for 4-6 weeks at a time (no joke)then in a week will lose 6-8 pounds, then the cycle begins again. I have had two fills. I have a total of 6cc in my band. It was two weeks ago Monday (so now 17 days) that I was last filled. He wont even see me for two more months. So at first I was so tight I thought I would die. Everything solid had a hard time going down. Even the soft pasta type stuff. Now 17 days later, I dont seem to have any restriction or if I do very little. I have to restrain myself from eating because I am really hungry shortly after meals. It's not just head hunger either. I am now fearful I am one of those people who are a bottomless pit and even the band is not going to help me from being hungry and misserable. I would have swore a week ago I had reached that sweet spot. Now I am pretty sure I have not. Is it normal to feel that full after a fill then after a week or two lose that feeling? I thought it was just the opposite, you dont feel it at first but after a few days the fill "kicks in" can I get some encouragement and education here? Thanks!!!!! and God bless you all on your journey.

Hey I am filled at 6.1cc in a 10cc band, I had my last fill 2 weeks ago and I feel I am at the sweet spot I don't get hungry but I do get head hunger and I wanna eat everything in site but the band does not let me...so I guess it is doing its job. I vomit everyday maybe 2 or 3 times a day. Im possibly to tight. However I know what you mean about the band getting "less tight" after a certain amount of time passes. So I don't want to go to the doctor for unfill because maybe soon it will get looser for me. I was banded april 13th 2009 and I have lost 35lbs.It sounds as though me and you are losing weight around the same speed. Im in the same boat as you. It seems to be that people lose the weight or get to their goal at about a year or so. I think we are doing fine you just have to try to eat the right foods until your next fill. I wouldn't worry just try to eat less and ignore the hungry! You can do it! For me food as lost all pleasure lol so be happy u can eat without vomiting it up... food isn't satisfying remember that. good luck!
