So, I got my band 5 weeks ago today. I have lost 22 pounds most of that in the first three weeks. The past three weeks have been tortorous losing a pound a week. I have yet have a fill and am struggling slightly. I am monitoring everything I eat very carefully but, am still hungry and feel like I am dieting all the time.... this is exactly why I got the lapband - to not feel hungry.......... Anyone give me an estimate on how many fills it takes before you hit the right place? I get my first fill next week and just want to be prepared as to how many fills it may take to get me where I want to be............. Thanks - Balastrea's Wife
