Congrats to everyone on their fills...it's so much better! Here's hoping you hit the green zone!

I saw the doc today, but didn't get a fill. I have the plication so maybe I don't need as many fills?

Mara..Did you ask your doc this question? I have no idea.. I dont understand the band with plication..why not just get the sleeve?...how did you decide on that?

I didn't ask him, I assume from the answers I gave him about my hunger and my steady weight loss he felt I didn't need it. I was kinda wondering if anyone else with a plication had already had a fill and how they felt before vs after.

Also, I got the plication because it was offered by my surgeron for free and I figured it couldn't hurt to have another tool to help with my weight loss.

At about two or three weeks post op I stopped losing also. I think I was taking in to few calories, once I started solids and took in more calories I started to lose again. But I stayed the same weight for 2-3 weeks before it started to come off again.

As for the hunger, is it boredom or actual hunger? I have found that a lot of times I'm not actually hungry and if I go do something that takes my mind off food then the pains go away and I forget about it.

Hang in there, you're in "bandster hell". sorry to say, but it could take a few fills to get you out. Hold on!
