I can say this , first I wanna feel the restriction ,............ I can at times ........ like when I eat a piece of steak or something dry , I can feel it , but I'm still hungry , I can honestly say I don't have things with sugar , I don't drink nothing but unsweetened tea with splenda , water and sometimes ..... a Sprite Zero , (( which has nothing in it )) , so drinking is NOT the problem , I don't add or use salt on anything ....I don't eat a lot of breads .........I just don't get it .....I'll be going to the Doc's again on Feb 11th , to get another fill , I'm pretty sure I'll br brought up to 3.8 on a 4.0 lapband , I hope I feel the restriction !!!!!!!!!.

Hello All I had surgery at the end of July , I lost 15 to 20 pounds in the first month because of the lapband surgery , I started at 290 , so ......... after the first month I was around 270 , I started losing a pound or 2 every month , I got down to 264lbs in December , I had fills every month after surgery , I started this year at 3.0 in my fill , I have a 4.0 lapband ............ I way 270lbs right now , I'm not happy at all , I had this suregery hoping that i'd be around 250 lbs at Christmas , and here I am gaining weight , I went to the Doc's office on Jan 14th and had another fill , I'm at 3.4 right now and I still feel hungry !!!!!!.......my lapband is almost full and I still feel hungry ....WHY ?????? I thought this was suppose to help you feel NOT hungry !!!!!!!!!............... I know I should be doing more exericse , I know this lapband thing is NOT a miracle fix , I know you still have to work at it , But WHY do I still feel hungry , WHY can I still eat , i rather and wish I couldn't hold anything down !!!!! ...I'm just mad and want to know how people out there have done with a 4.0 lapband , is there anyone who has had a lot of weight loss with a 4.0 lapband , when did you start feeling NOT hungry with your 4.0 lapband ??? what has been the highest fill on a 4.0 lapband ?? that you know off , I wanted and hoped to lose around 100lbs in one years time , I know once the warm weather comes around in my area I will start walking and exercising more , but I JUST DON"T WANT TO FEEL HUNGRY !!!!!!..........please post your weight lose and time span on a 4.0 lapband and when and what fill did you stop feeling hungry ?? Thanks to all who reply

I had surgery in the end of July , its been 6 months and I'm still feeling hungry and I can still eat , I lost about 15 pounds right away because of the surgery itself , but since then I only lost about 2 pounds a week , I have 3.0 cc in my band , ...I'm curious what everyone else has , whats the highest cc the band can go , I just want the hungry feeling to go away !!!!!!!! .the day of surgery I was 290lb , ......... 6 months later i weigh in at 266 , ........ i'm not happy with the results yet , I would like to weigh in at 200lbs , ................ is there a point when you had a fill and the hungry feeling just goes away ?? Thanks to all who reply
