so i was banded on 2/9/09 so im almost 12 weeks out....everything about the surgery went great and i was up and ready in no time i was doing really great when i went in for my 1 week post op i had lost 13lbs and i was loving it:thumbup:!! i went in 4 weeks late on march 9th and got my first fill 2cc in a 10cc band...after the first fill everything was pretty normal my portion sizes were ok i guess i could eat about 4-6 oz of food and then a med fruit like an apple with no hunger in between. Some time after my first fill (maybe like week 2) i started to get hungry in between meals but still kept my eating to a minimum so when i went back for my 2 month post op appt on the 15 of april i had lost 17 lbs!!:thumbup: my doctor thought that was great and so did i but gave me a fill anyway because i said i was hungry in between meals and thats when it all began after that 2nd fill everything would get stuck!! even mashed potatoes i could drink liquids just fine and i did not pb or anything(almost did once i gagged but nothing came up) but all my food was getting stuck so i lost another 3lbs in 4 days i was so frustrated that i could not eat anything that i went in and got 1/2 of a cc taken out so now almost one week after that im hungrier than i was before i was "overfilled" for example today i ate 1 cup of coffee with some pound cake (bad food choice) for lunch i ate about 6 oz spaghetti and 1/2 a flour tortilla (anothr bad food choice:frown:) for a snack i had 1 string cheese and about 12 crackers then for snack number two i had a s.f ice cream sandwich (100 cal) and for dinner i had 4oz deli meat (turkey rolled up with avacodo inside and 16 crackers and about 12 small cubes of melon which i think is waaaay too much food so now im starting to think that getting that unfill was a mistake maybe i was not really overfilled:cursing: im really lost with this situation right now i dont know whats normal as far as portion and since the unfill i have not felt "full" i only stop eating becase i know i should not eat more...its also that time of the month and wondering if that has anything to do with it??? please help im a little dissapointed in myself right now bc of that unfill :thumbdown:

your situation sounds like something I read earlier.. You may not have had enough fill the first time.. Nothing should be slipping into the band to get stuck.. which means your opening is too large.

I would go back and get more fill than what you had. I wish I could direct you to the post I read but I forgot already.

I do not have my band yet but have been researching this board like crazy. I hope this is of help to you.
