Ive had my band for over 3 years and thought i was at a good restriction. Certain foods i couldnt eat but I felt hungry often. Just had a check up and got a small fill. Wow. I eat a small amount and dont feel hungry till the next meal. I think i hit my sweet spot and was going around before without enough restriction. Now i can continue my weight lose where I left off. Im thrilled. So this restriction is curbing my hunger and i havent had this before. Yeah!!!

Im in this same boat. Got my fill today and now im back to band life!

If I i am stuck and try to drink anything, i will vomit the liquid right back up. Chewables are probably better.

I was banded several years ago. lost 35 lbs and have kept it off. But today I went for a check up and had a barium swallow. they said they could give me a little fill and since i have been able to eat more and fell hungrier, I went forward. I can already tell im restricted more. I am glad but feel like im kind of having a rebirth of my band experience. Has anyone else gone thru this? Im really hoping i can jumpstart my weightloss again.

Hi. Im new to this forum. I have had my band for several years and have maintained a 35 pound weight loss. I went today and had a fill as i am stalled and havent been losing and I want to lose another 30 pounds at least. I believe my restriction was not enough but i now think its going to be very different. I know already that my restriction is going to be noticable and i feel like im starting over. So here I am. Ready to continue my journey.
