I had my lap band surgery on March 29, 2007. On April 27, 2007, I had my first adjustment. The problem is I still feel hungry. My ability to eat bread has significantly decreased but its every thing else that is posing a problem for me! I'm thinking I need another adjustment...am I right???:help:

I could get one every 2 weeks as needed BUT, every single fill I've ever had has taken anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to fully become effective. Let me give you an example. I've had 6 fills to get to 3 cc's in my 4cc's band. My last fill was 5 weeks ago. Up until 1 1/2 weeks ago I could eat solid Proteins up to about 1/2 cup, perfect right? Well, now, 5 weeks after my fill it's fully kicked in and I'm having to go tomorrow for a slight unfill. So, it may take yours 2 weeks as well. I would give it a little bit of time and let your esophagus and stoma and everything get use to it and if in a couple of weeks you still need some I would get a little more. This is imho only though. Good luck.

I had 6mls for my first fill. I only have 2 fills included within the package price I paid for surgery. I can eat more now than when I first had my fill done. I think I might need a fill but the hospital keep telling me to leave it another month. Are you eating the right amount of food? I'm eating around 1200 calories a day now as my dietician recommended me too. She mad me keep a food diary and said she wasn't surprised I was hungry as I wasn't eating enough.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
