Hi did you go private, if so surely he has to fill you. your spot on the reason we all got banded was because we had no portion or snack control. However listen to your body, i was banded on Jan 07 and it has been a roller coaster ride, listen to your body it knows alot more than any doctor does. i have lost 98lbs and need to lose 30 more. got filled 2 days ago. i told the fill doc to put .5 of a mill in, he said he would put 1.5 in, and check it on xray. well the Fluid he gave me would not even go down, my band was clamped shut, so he took out half of the 1.5 and i am now very tight can barely eat or drink. i new .5 would be enough but he put .75 in. i will persevere until i lose my 30 lbs bur will then go back to my original fill.

I was banded in August, but have not had a fill yet...my doctor says that since I have been losing steadily, I don't need one, but I do have times when I really feel hungry.

I am going for a visit on Tuesday. I am going to insist on a fill. It will be too hard to get through the holidays feeling hungry. I don't want to undo all that I have accomplished.
