  1. Ok guys, what do you think? I'm 7 1/2 months out and I've only had 2 fills. I'm at the point now where I'm not loosing any more weight, and I'm eating somewhat bigger portions. I just got back from a weekend getaway and I'm up now 2 lbs. I've lost over 85 lbs so far. I feel like I'm also at a plateau even before the weekend getaway. My dr didn't seem to interested in giving me a fill 2 weeks ago when I was there with my hubby ( he's 1 month out postop Lapband) bc of the weight I've already lost. But I feel it's time for another fill. What about you guys, what do you think?

  5. I hope that doesn't happen to me!! I love mushrooms!!! But I've noticed that some people have food issues that others don't! I haven't yet hit "the green" yet, so I'm not sure what foods bother me and what don't! Along with soda, I've completely cut out breads all together!!!

  14. Hey my fellow Banded friends!! I'm new to the forum and also pretty new to the whole "Lapband life"!! I recently had my surgery Nov. 8, 2013. With my Dr, I didn't get my first fill until 6 weeks post-op. Well my first fill went great!!! But the only thing is I'm still hungry between meals and I also feel that my portions are too big. I purposely watch my portions, but sometimes I can eat more (at least more that what I feel I should be eating)!! I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it common to have more that your first fill before you are truly where you should be? I don't feel that I'm "in the green" yet, could this be true, and that I really do need another fill? I have 4cc In my band now, but I'm not quite sure how many cc my band holds. What do you think??
