2 Months I went to the doctor to find out my lapband was obstructed and nothing would pass through. He took what little fluid I had out so it was empty and fully open. I wasn't able to get back till last Monday and he put 2 CC's in and now a week later I feel no tightness whatsoever !! Is this normal ?? I'm aging weight and staying hungry all the time. I've never been able to have a lot of CC's in at once so maybe this has changed? Is that possible ? And now I don't go back to doctor till June 25...

Hi bandsters, i was banded in january 2012 and im down almost 100 lbs. i had my last unfill August 2 due to it being to tight and not being able to eat at all. My next fill appt is October 14, I have Been on a couple of vacations and can tell I've gained weight probably 10 pounds so I'm very discouraged and upset with my self, has anyone else fell off the wagon and with the fill should be able to get back on track right ??

Thanks for the encouragement. And yes I'm hungry all the time!! I hate that and since I have no restriction I crave things I know I should not be eating. I do very well when the band is tight. So until I go to the doctor I'm trying to focus in better foods and getting my protein since I've noticed my hair falling out at well. I know it's a lifestyle change and that I have to do my part I'm just ready to get back on track. Thanks again

I would like to know this too I have lost 72 pounds and take vitamins and get protein but still my hair falls out

Am searching for a real high protein shake. Does anyone have any recipes ?

Update- I went to the dr and had an unfill which is very discouraging to me, I even cried lol I feel like I am taking a step backwards however he did take 2 ccs out so now I only have 2.5 and have no restriction which was nice because I actually got o enjoy a birthday meal I am scheduled to go back on the 21st to get refilled !!

I need some opinions, I was banded on January 13 and have lost 36 pounds as of April 11( I only weigh once a month ) I have had 2 fills so far and for awhile now I can't keep much down , I don't know if I am eating to fast or just too tight. I hate to get in filled seeing as it will cost me 150 dollars, however I don't feel like I am losing as much now. I have read that it might be because I am not eating enough. I just don't know what to do. I'm not eating bad stuff mainly trying to eat chicken and tuna and string cheese and protein shakes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
