I am eating more. I know that my restriction has left. I am eating more and more. I even went to the bakery today. I usually make good choices everyday. I have gone to my doctor several times over the past few months and he won't fill me. He thinks I am doing great. I am hungry. My hunger has not left. I am suppose to be at 3.75cc in my 10cc band. I dont think I even have 2.5cc.

I don't know what else to do or say for him

to see that I really do need a fill. I have lost each appt. and when I go back I think it is to my benefit for me to be the same weight.

I really dont want to get a fill before the holiday next week. I do have a fill appt set up for Dec 1 st. I have to pray every night that when I see him on my next visit he will agree that I DO need a FILL. I went out for lunch the other day with a friend and ordered a entree. It came with a soup and salad before the dish arrived. I was able to eat the soup, then the whole salad (eating SLOW) and then ate probably 2 cups of the main entree. I have never been able to do that since I reached around 2.5 cc in my band. HELP !!! I don't want to gain......:thumbup:

I'm not sure why you think it's supposed to be 3.75, but you think you have 2.5cc? Regardless of the numbers your doc shouldn't just base your fills on how well you're losing...I lost during Bandster Hell when my band had 0 fill. My doc looks at WL, but he also asks me how much I'm able to eat, if there is anything I'm unable to eat, and am I having any troubles with PB's/stuck/etc., and most importantly if I am eating the recommended amounts and following all the other rules AM I HUNGRY BETWEEN MEALS. All those things should help determine a fill. I always went in armed with my case on all these things and then let him determine the amount. I have 5.9cc's in a 10cc band and reached my Sweet Spot only with the last fill...and many others in my April group have more than that in the same band. Good luck. -BG
