Lap Band Fills



Recommended Posts

I have just had my 3rd fill for a total of 5 c.c.'s. The last fill was a whole 1cc. For the first day I was great restricted, but today it is just like all the other fills about 2 hours after a small meal I am major hungry!!! With the exception of the first 2 weeks I have been hungry for the most part.

Am I destined to be a BOTTOMLESS PIT??

I am tired of being hungry!!

Thanks For The VENT

I am having the same problem, and I am not sure what to do. I hoped that I would have that feeling of fullness, and not the uncontrollable hunger. I too feel like is this going to work. My doctor put in a total of 7cc over 4 fills and I have never felt full, or anything. I feel very discouraged.

Do you have the new AP band? I was banded on 9/19/07 and found out at one of my fill appointments that I have this band and that it takes longer to get the "sweet spot" that they talk about. I too have 5 cc's in my 10 cc band and was doing really great at my fourth fill. I had really good restriction for about one week. I read that the more you lose, the looser the band gets therefore requiring more fill, but with this new band and since my surgeon only started using it and doesn't have any long term feedback from patients about it that they just don't know what it's going to take to get the sweet spot. That is my feeling, and I may be totally off the mark here, but I KNOW what you are going through and I hope that we get there. Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
