I have had my routine checks with my surgeon. He feels that if you are losing weight, you do not need a fill. I have had to really talk with him to get the 3 fills that I have gotten. I am scheduled for another recheck in about 3 weeks. I am hoping for another fill.... I am determined and I WILL NOT FAIL. Thanks for all your advice!

One year and 3 days and 54# gone. I should be happy right??? BUT I am hungry. I have had 3 fills since my surgery. I think I am around 3-3.5cc in my band. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the weight loss but I feel like it has been a constant battle. I didnt think the band would end all of my eating issues. I know it is a tool to weight loss but it is a constant struggle for me. I feel that all foods go down without any problems. I am watching my diet and exercising. I am not really sure the band has done anything for me. I know in the last year, I have not always made the right food choices(bad habits are hard to break). I know that there are days that I should have went to the gym(laziness got the best of me). Overall, I have made many changes in my life and am pleased with my results. Just getting a little frustrated that I feel hungry. Any thoughts...do I just need to keep getting fills until I hit my sweet spot....is there an issue with my band....Thanks!

I was banded on 5/14/13. I am down 29#. I went in for my first fill and my doctor thought I was doing good and didn't need a fill. I do feel restriction. I am eating 4 small meals throughout the day and am feeling full. I guess it is a good thing that I dont need a fill. I have started to work with a personal trainer and doing cardio atleast 4 days per week. I am a little concerned that all of the sudden I will start to feel hungy and then have to try to get in quickly for a fill.

Strange Question about Breath

Today, I really upped my water intake and I dont feel like my breath is as bad. The taste in my mouth has also decreased. -

Thank you so much for the help! -
Ever since I was banded on 5/14/13, I have had bad breath. I can brush my teeth and use mouth wash but always have a bad taste in my mouth. I really think at times my breath could kill someone. YIKES! Anyone else experienced this?

Congratulations! You are a true inspiration!!

I had surgery on 5/14. I am still on liquids. I dont advance my diet for another 5 days. I then go to pureed. I have to admit that I am fighting hunger twinges.

Walking and Gas Ex strips helped me.

Congratulations!

I did pick up the New Whey Protein Drink. Not very tasty but well worth the Protein. Thanks to all suggestions!
