Probably, but 9 lbs in 8 weeks is good. If you aare hungry and eating what you should not, you might need an additional fill. See your surgeon for advice, tho'.

Eating things you shouldn't is a sign that you need a fill. eating things you shouldn't could hinder weight lost big time. Work with your band it will work for you. Good luck

Are you eating slider foods? I notice that you say that you are eating food that you shouldnt, if you are eating crisps and biscuits that type of thing then getting a fill wont make any difference, you just need to get your head back into the game. If you can eat more normal dry type food than you could before then it is time for another fill.

Perhaps a small one might help . but may I suggest you also get your head in the game ( sorry I hate that expression it's NOT a game) It's your Life!

along with the fills we need to be accountable for what we eat and how much That's why were all here to learn new habits.

Let me play the Devil's advocate : :ph34r: What IF they told you NOPE NO FILL? your first thought would be OMG what am I going to do ? Well I guess you might need to rethink your food choices and start exercising if your not already?

I think you can see where this headed..yes you probably could use a fill, but what happens on that day they say NO?

GOOD LUCK ...you've already lost 9 lbs that's Awesome Keep up the good work!!

I got a fill a week for the first 8 weeks. I'd recommend frequent fills with less Fluid over large fills infrequently. Smaller fills let your body adapt better and gives you a chance to get used to the new levels of restriction.

I agree you need to control your eating, easier said than done I know, but you can do it...it's mind over matter at this point. Best Wishes
