Should I Get A Fill???

By cat lady

· 479 views

Hi just wondering if its time for a fill. Banded last july and lost weight consistently till now. Told the PA in my docs office that I still have trouble with certain foods and she said....oh no you actually need an unfill???? i told her I never got a fill but she wanted to remove whatever was in the band from surgery. I refused. I was feeling good....eating and got stuck a few times. I think this a pretty normal with the band but she said I should be able to eat everything in smalleor quantities. Still can't handle steak or pasta or dry meats. now i stopped losing any weight and think I might need a fill. What do you think?

    I may not be the best person to answer this as I myself have not had a fill yet but to me it sounds as though you body has fianlly gotten used to the band and yea I think you need a fill so that you can loose. After doing alot of research and talking to alot of people who have had this done it seems as though there are alot of people who have some kind of food/foods that they cant handle even after years of having the band. Do what you think. Ask your doctor. I wouldnt go by the PA. Best of luck to you!!!!

    Thanks Elvees mommy. i also think that not being able to eat certain foods is part of the band process. I am going back the end of April after the holidays....i think i am ready for my first fill.

    Not gaining but i can see that i am not satisfied with what i am eating right now...and getting my bad urges to snack again. i must put a hold on it. Good Luck to you on your journey....it is a great tool and really does work. Could never have lost 50 lbs without it. Chris
