I have been worried about the same problem. I was banded in Oct '07 and have had 1 fill. I do feel restriction when I eat, but am surprised at how much I can eat. Soon after I can still feel hungry although I can go longer without eating, and I certainly do not eat as much as I used to. I have been worried that I may have stretched the pouch. As I have not lost any weight since the op.
Am going to the gym tomorrow to start a new weight and cardio programme, hopefully this will help shift the kilos.
I lost 8 kilo at the beginning when I was first banded, been able to keep it off, but have not lost anything since.
Not due to go back to Doctor for 2nd fill til Feb 11th.
