What happens if you eat after 6pm? Do you feel like food is in your pouch still at night and have acid issues? I have been banded over 6 years and have never had this issue because I never had the restriction I have now.

Yes mine has always felt a little tighter right before my period.

I am a little over 6 years with my band. I am back after a couple years to start again. I had originally been on this board when I first was banded in 2007 under screen name babygotback. I was pretty much able to maintain weight loss with a low carb type diet with not too much restriction. I have gone and got 2 fills, one in June and the other in July. I do feel that I can eat less than I used to be able to without being so tight that I PB. I have not PB'd at all or slimed. So I am thinking my restriction must be pretty close to the "green zone" or at it. I do notice I can't eat dinner at 8pm anymore or else I feel like I have food still in my pouch when I go to sleep. I have not lost any additional weight and am hoping to start losing again soon.

I had not had a good fill in a while and recently went and got anther fill. Prior to this fill I was able to have dinner about 8 pm and go to sleep by 11 with no problem. Since my last fill, I find that I need to have dinner by 6 or so in order to not have and issues at night. I feel like I still have food in my pouch if I eat later on when I go to sleep. I was thinking that if it gets too late to eat dinner, it would be best to have a shake. I am just curious when others fell they need to stop eating at night.

I actually did it before a fill to see where it left me. I actually felt a little more restriction but I felt I still needed a fill.

Im in the same boat..got banded a lil over 6 years ago... no fill for about 3 or so years and now back on the bandwagon. I'm trying to figure it all out again, the rules, no later night eating. ..I have a had 2 fills since seeing my doctor in the last month or so. I feel restriction but no problems or pbing. I do notice I can't eat anything at all so far in the evening. I snacked at 7:30 and felt I still had food in my pouch at 10pm so slept reclined.

I had mine by Dr. Ariel Ortiz who I was told helped pioneer the band in the states. I've not had any complications and he put a low profile port also.

I was banded by dr. Ortiz in Mexico over 6 years ago. I have a 4cc allergen lapband band and have never had complications. I also have a low profile port. The wholeb experience was great.

I believe it will. I have been banded over 6 years and had not had a fill in a few years. I had some restriction but could basically eat what I wanted. I went for a slight fill 3 weeks ago. I didn't really notice too much difference, but that I did get a little fuller faster. Then I did the 5 day pouch reset and I do notice some more restriction and can eat less than before. I am going to get another fill this Thursday. I also lost 3 pounds doing the pouch reset.

I'm on day 5 of the pouch reset. I do notice I can eat less than before and get full much faster. I am going in for a fill on Thursday also. So, the 5 day full actually does work. I had years pass where I have not felt it this way and I'm very happy to feel my band again this way

I am on day 4 of the pouch reset. Weighed in at 165.4 this morning. I am having coffee with unsweetened creamer and crab with 1 egg for breakfast. Taking eating the egg and crab slowly, taking time in between bites and chewing. I am meeting friends for lunch and have a wedding later, but I am set on protein only.

I am on day 3 of the pouch reset. I ate cottage cheese for breakfast, white blended beans for lunch with cheese, tuna with mayo and blended chili with cheese for dinner. I was out at a lake today and needed a little snack since I was feeling really out of it so I had a small package of unsalted nuts. I made sure to chew very carefully to a paste consistency. I had my water also. I do feel fuller faster but I guess I will know tomorrow when I have the ground meat. I feel pretty good today and not as hungry for some reason.
