housecatgirl 0 Posted July 24, 2006 :help: Well, it’s been almost 4 weeks and I need a fill!! I can eat anything and just as much as I could eat before. I know the band is empty right now but do I really need to wait 2 more weeks?? :rolleyes I was hoping to go down Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laprelief 0 Posted July 24, 2006 I know exactly what you mean. It has been 3 and half weeks and I can eat just as much of whatever before as before the band. What's up with that??????? I'm so discouraged and hungry for goodness sakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndreaE 0 Posted July 24, 2006 I hope you guys have better luck than me on your first fill. I had my first on June 13 and it doesn't feel any different than before the fill. I'm not starving, but I'm sure I could eat more (I just dont let myself). At my last support meeting, I spoke to a few bandsters who lost about 80-90 pounds in the first year, but they did tell me that it took them about 3 fills before they felt good restriction. They also told me that after the 3rd fill, the weight loss starting coming easier. I guess everyone is different. I cant wait till my next fill!! Good luck to you!

*susan* 1,709 Posted July 24, 2006 It just depends on your doctor. Give him/her a call. Mine begins giving fills after the 4th week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted July 25, 2006 My doctor had me scheduled for a fill at 4 weeks, Dr. Curry, he is so sweet, but I called today and got it for 5 weeks and one day. I'm 2 weeks postop today and have lost 21 pounds. I weighed this morning and had lost 3 more but I still thank the lord have plenty of restriction. I can only eat 1/2 cup 3 times a day and thats it. It scares me because I am afraid when it stops it will stop and I'll have a hard time. I guess time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blj5362 0 Posted July 25, 2006 I too am just 4 weeks out and starving. I try to make the right choices but I still eat too much of the right foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
