need a little advise from experienced bansters

My last fill was about a month ago. It was the first time I actually felt like I got a fill. It was also the first time I had a major stuck episode. It scared me and I am afraid of having another one. It took me about 2 weeks before I could eat anything other than mushies. I can eat now except sometimes in the morning I cant even get down scrambled eggs. I have a 10cc band and I think I have about 4.75 cc in there now. I have an appointment on Wednesday for another fill, and I cant make up my mind if I need it or not. I explained my situation to the lady that call to comfirm my appointment and all she said is that it is up to me. I get hungry, but when I eat it lasts for about 4 hrs on most days, and a cup usually will fill me up. Does it sound like I should wait to get a fill?? What if I get a small fill and it is too much, will I no right away?? Some imput on what I should do.

You're the envy of many on the board. I recommend passing on the fill and working on the small bites, big chews and slowing down. Learning to eat with the band can be the hardest to overcome.

going 4 hours? I would pass as well on a fill. I don't even go 4 hours between meals without feeling hungry but it's a fine line for me from being just right to being too tight. I choose to be looser.

I would definitely pass on the fill and work on eating smaller bites.
