  6. Hello all, I'm a little confused and hoping some of you may be able to help me. I was banded Aug. 2006. I have the Swedish band that holds 10cc. I was filled at 6.5 cc for 1.5 years, lost 80 lbs, but my weight was stuck and I was struggling a lot with hunger so I decided to get another fill. The fill nurse had a little trouble with my port, it took maybe 3 tries, but I experienced redness at the port site and a stinging sensation that lasted a few hours. She put in .25 cc. The weird thing is that after that fill, I had a LOT less restriction than I did before. So, I just got another .5 cc put in and I still don't seem to have much restriction at all. Is it possible that something went wrong with the previous fill? I don't understand why my restriction has lessened with 2 fills. I have another fill booked next week, but I'm wondering what to do. I've asked for a fluro but was told they do not do one unless I'm having obvious problems which I am not. Could I have a leak? pouch dilation?

  10. Hi all, I was banded Aug. 6/06 and did well for a while on one fill. I think mostly because I was supermotivated in the beginning. I know I have restriction because I almost always get the "first bite syndrome". My problem is I do not stay full. I eat my 3 or 4 ounces of meat and some veggies and I am completely hungry within 2 hours. It is very frustrating because that's when I start snacking. I recently got another fill but it made no difference at all. I have 6.5 cc in a 10 cc band. I'm afraid to get another fill because I really have a hard time now getting meat and fresh fruits or veggies down now. I didn't know that the band just doesn't work for some people and I'm really scared that I've gone as far as I can with it. And yes, I wonder if I made a mistake and should have had the bypass, but I'd probably still be wary of that surgery.:thumbup: Weight Loss - Diet Ticker

    Can I join you guys too? I just found this forum. I was banded Aug. 6/06! Feeling scared :thumbup: cause I haven't been able to lose weight for 6 months and I don't want this to be the end of my weight loss. I need a jumpstart. Thought the support and motivation might help?
