2Nd Fill And Already Too Tight!!!!!

[ohappyday999 2]

Just had my 2nd fill after my surgery on July 19th and I have to go back to the Dr. to have some taken out. Am I doomed to not looses weight if I am already at my maximum restriction and I am still hungry all the time?!?! Really hate to think I went through all of this for nothing!!

I'm not understanding how you can be at maximum restriction. With only 2 fills in your band, you should have lots of room for more. As you lose weight, you will lose fat around the stomach and the band will loosen.

A small unfill will likely help with weight loss

Hang in there

After my first fill I was a little over 5cc's and today they added 2 more so I went back and had them take some out, felt a little better. But now I can hardly keep anything down so I guess I still need to have more taken out. The nurse said the same thing you did about being able to fill again after losing more weight, thanks for the info and I think from now on I will ask to go a little slower on the fills and won't freak out do fast, lol!

Best wishes, it is hard to believe that you are at maximum and still hungry! It sounds like you are dealing with a lot of head hunger. Don't feel bad, me too and I am 2 1/2 years out. Just learn what is head hunger and real hunger. My surgeon insists I can't feel hunger pains???I think I can! But, I am also, at max and he will not fill me further. Make good choices for your meals and Snacks. But, if you are too tight, (some people like that, not me), you can end up eating around your band. Met someone the other day that I told I had the band, she asked how that worked for me, I told her I lost 100 lbs, and she said her friend was eating around her band and has not lost weight. Best wishes, Karen
