My doctor does it every 4 weeks until you get to the "green zone"

Thanks!! Good luck to you too!! How long does your dr make you wait inbetween fills? one month

Hi ~ yeah i've had one fill and i go next wednesday for my next one. i dont feel like i have any restriction. i'm going to ask for as much as possible. i just don't see how i can eat any less. good luck monday with your fill hope it goes well. thanks for the support

I am so upset. I had my surgery on June 8th and did great with weight loss during the pre op diet and then for a couple weeks post op. I have not lost any weight for a month now and I am trying so hard. Im sticking to good eating habits and i work out every day!!!!! What can i do to boost this along? I go for my second fill in one week.

FeFe I know exactly how you feel. I had my surgery on June 8th and I've lost 21 pounds but sometimes I forget I've had the surgery and start eating like I normally did. I am worried because I can still take large bites and it doesn't bother me. I'm not sure how much saline I have in my band, I go back on the 27th of this month so I will find out then. How many fills have you had? I have a friend that has lost 95 lbs and has kept it off for 2 years. She says it can sometimes take 5cc to be in your sweet spot so you might have a couple more fills before you get to that spot. Hopefully it will come soon. Susan Hello All, I had my surgery on April 11, 2011 and so far I have lost 35 pounds and I only have 2cc band fill. I am able now to eat a lot more compared to when I first got my lapband. I feel like I am out of control sometimes but it is nothing compared to how I ate before the band. I think that I may need to go back to liquids for a while, maybe that will help me loose some more weight. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week for 1 hour and My clothing is fitting better. I try to fight the urge to snack and such, this is worrying me because it is too soon for me to feel as I do, I hope that I am not gaining weight. Does anyone know what I am going through and how did you overcome an increased appetite? -FeFe
