lotstolose 0 Posted September 14, 2008 Hello Everyone, I am so pleased that I found this site. I was banded on January 14, 2008 and need help. I have had 2 fills and still cannot tell any difference in the amount of food I can eat. I get very hungry and have not found any foods that I cannot eat. Has anyone else had this experience?

RestlessMonkey 7 Posted September 14, 2008 I haven't even had 1 fill yet but from my reading and research and what my surgeon has told me, 2 fills in 8 months isn't much at all. I get my 1st fill Oct 9 and was told it make take more than 3-4 times to get my restriction just right. So I think you need a fill ASAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat225 2 Posted September 14, 2008 Yeah two fills in 8 months is not enough for most people. It all depends on the person but it sounds like it's not enough for you. You should keep getting fills until you feel restricted. Where were you banded? Your doc should know that.... I was band it April and just got restriction about 3 weeks ago. I took me four fills and my band is almost full! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ezma 2 Posted September 14, 2008 I was banded the month after you and I've had 5 fills. I have just now reached a good restriction point with my band. There are a couple women in my month group that have had only a couple fills too and they are struggling. Hang in there and hopefully you can talk your doctor into being a bit more aggressive with the fills. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
