To Fill or Not To Fill...

[AppleBottom 0]

Hi Everyone!

With my last recent fill, I have FINALLY had some restriction! For months I didn't even feel like I had a lap band!!

Right now, for example, I can eat a 2 pieces of deli turkey breast, a quarter cup of mashed potatoes and a quarter cup of steamed veggies... My family is convinced that I am nuts to get another fill, but I feel like I should maybe get a little more in my band, because within two hours of eating, I am STARVING again!

To fill or not to fill...That is the question!!! :smile:

Any input would be appreciated!

If you are hungry 2 hours after eating, a small tweak will probably do you good. I firmly believe that success with your band has A LOT to do with your fills... you don't want to have to be so concerned about 'self control' with the band. The band should dim the hunger significantly when you get to your sweet spot.

Please take note and notice that katy said "tweak". That doesn't mean a regular fill. It sounds like you have good restriction, you just need the food to stay a little longer in your pouch. Be careful and proceed slowly. If after the fill you have any problems at all, get it taken out.

I am in the same place you are. I finally feel like I have hit a good restriction but I think I need a little more. When I go back to the dr. next week I will have to see how much weight i have lost cause they might not allow me to get another fill right now.
