Heyy y'all! I have had my band for almost exactly a year and have lost 90 pounds so far. My last fill was on Jan 6th. The dr said I was really restricted at that time but I wasn't feeling a whole lot of restriction. She added just a small amt of saline (idr exactly how much, I want to say .4). Now, and for the last week or so I don't feel an restriction again. Out of nowhere I can eat a lot more food, and feel hungry more often. I am worried my band has slipped or I stretched my pouch or something terrible is going on in there. Today, right now, I don't feel too good. I can't tell if im hungry or my stomach is hurting. Its growling but idk. im confused, I really don't like not knowing what my body is telling me. I also have been burping for about an hour I wont be be able to get in to see a doctor for abt 3 weeks. I had sushi last night, and the left over this morning. I normally don't eat rice/bread/etc. but im weak for sushi. I hadn't had it in a few months, so I thought maybe that's what has me feeling weird today. If anybody has any insight on this, I would really appreciate it! Thanks guys!

I was banded on Feb 1st 2013.. Ive lost 38 pounds so far... which i am ecstatic about. About a week ago i went in to see my doctor thinking somehting was wrong, because I was feeling hungry often and eating more (i thought my band had slipped or something). The doctor told me this was normal, because as you lose weight your band gets looser. make sense. so she gave me a fill and sent me on my way. BUT since then its like ive lost my mind. I know i am making bad food choices but its like i convince myself its ok (like eating ice cream bc it eventually turns to liquid and doesnt take up space in my tummy-!!crazy !!), and then feel horrible afterwards. i know what it sounds like. i was doing so well prior to this last week, my willpower was intact i guessbut now--- its an awful feeling because i know im probably doing damage but idk its hard. i want to say on track and 'be strong' and i know everyone has cravings and most of you are able to move past them. im wondering if anyone else is or has felt like me; and how did you overcome it?

thanks missy!

3 months later.. Lol.. I know! I don't know anyone in my area that has gotten banded. How is your weight loss going?

Anyone out there from the Lafayette area? I recently got my band on Feb 1st and I'm looking for someone to workout with and share my experiences with!

I got m band on Feb 1st. I can' tell if i'm hungry or not. My stomach is growling or making noises a least and I feel somthing in my tummy but idk if its hunger or just getting used to the new feeling. Anyone have this problem?

Thanks for all the info! I need to do a better job of tracking when I drink/eat. I'm gonna do that and hopefully in time ill figure out my new belly =P
