FAMOUS1 29 Posted March 25, 2013 I feel so hungry .... Feel like I have no band ... Why ? Did I do something wrong ... Is it there ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnMyWay2Thin 45 Posted March 25, 2013 Did you lose weight? Perhaps you lost and your band is looser because you also lost weight inside where the band is located. That would give you much less restriction. If you're not in pain or having problems, I wouldn't think you're having a band problem. Believe it or not, weather even affects my band, is there a certain weather front in the area? Maybe you just need a fill. Give your doctor's office a call and see what they think. I'm sure they will have some idea as to what has happened. In the meantime, just follow the rules and, as hard as it may be, try not to focus upon the hunger. I wish you the best of luck! 2 Lori Jo and ireallywannabthin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted March 25, 2013 Congrats on your weight loss! You say you "can and do eat everything". Keep in mind the band isn't supposed to physically stop you from eating nor is it supposed to force you to decrease your portions. It will always be your job to stick to band sized portions and make smart food choices. Have a look at this link, I think it will help: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
