Been banded for 2 years and still can eat what ever and as much as I want. Lost 40 pounds after surgery and have kept that off, But stuck at current weight. I eat and it just goes thru. I have been to the doctor and there is just a small amount left to fill. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED. its not easy when you never feel full WHAT CAN I DO? Its been two years and this sucks.

I got banded on Oct 23 2007, I lost 30 pounds after the surgery. Since Decemeber I have not lost anything!! I have a fill on Jan 7, and I just had a fill last week. It does not make me feel full. I can eat anything what the hell is going on? I have no tool inside me working? I thought it was a tool to help with weight loss it is doing nothing. HELP!!!!!!

HELP!!! I thought after you got a fill you would feel a restriction which would help you in your eating. I got a fill Jan 2 and have no restriction and I am almost back to the way I ate before the band. I am starving and feel nothing, I am very dissapointed with this surgery. It cost 23,000 and I lost 30 lbs after the surgery and gained back 20 I eat what I want and no restriction. If I eat 4 ounces I am starving what do I DO??? HELP!!!!!l

Hello fellow bandsters!! i GOT MY FIRST FILL ON jAN 2, i HAVE THE LARGE BAND AND IT WAS 10CC. I have no restriction at all. I am getting really frustrated because I haven't been able to eat small amounts because it does restrict. I called the doctor and they say it may take up to 4 weeks for a restriction. WHY SO LONG? shouldn't it work instantly? I am going back on Feb 24 for another fill, I am hoping it kicks in before I really want this to work. But its really diffiucult with no restriction at all!! ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME would help!!

Hi guys, I had my first fill a few days ago 10cc. I have no restriction. SHould I call the Doc or wait until 6 week appointment? When I say I have no restriction I can eat anything and any amount and not feeling full. The hunger is killing me. I want the feeling with just a small amount of food but it isn;t there. Any suggestions!! HELP!!!!!!

I had my first fill the other day the doctor put in 10cc. It has been three days and I have no restriction. Should I have another fill or am I not waiting long enough for it to work? Also when I say no restriction I can eat anything and it just goes right through, I am getting frustrated also I want to eat small but the band is not working!!!!!

I have a little restriction and I FELT IT a WEEK AGO when I ate some rice to fast, it was horrible. The pain was intense and then I vomited it up, I will never go through that again, small bited slow down and chew chew chew!!! SO happens before the fill and after???
