I was banded 7/31/12 and I have lost 53ish pounds. I exercise on a regular basis. I have had 2 fills, however I'm starting to wonder if I need another fill. I have started to be hungry between meals. I'm not sure if I need the fill or just motivation and will power. Any advise?

Congrats on your loss!

It could be that you do need one.

For me, motivation and willpower could only last so long....thats why every time I dieted in the past, I'd eventually gain more than I lost. I lost that willpower/motivation. Now...I have an adjustable band. And its working just as I had hoped for it to now.

Best wishes for your continued success! :)

Thanks! That's kind of what I've been thinking. The only positive in right now is that I've been maintaining my weight. :)

Yea, one of the reasons I'm getting the band is in hopes that I don't have to struggle with having will power and being hungry all the time. Like catfish said, sounds like you may need a feel if you are getting hungry in between meals. At least that's what I've been taught. Good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
