I also have a 4.0 lapband and it took me all the way to a 3.8 fill before I felt enough restriction. I still feel hungry sometimes, but if you eat the 3 small meals per day and drink the protien it helps with the hunger. I was banded 8/17/06 so about 16 months ago and I just hit 90lbs weight loss. So hang in there, try to eat good quality, high protien low calorie foods, get some exercise (even housework works) and you should do great ! Good luck !

Well I went to my appt on Monday and discussed both erosion and slippage with my Dr. I feel much better now. He was concerned about the spot of blood, but reminded me to take small bites, chew, chew, chew, and stop eating when I have eaten my 2 oz. Thanks everyone for the support ! BTW I lost 8.9 lbs this month !

Thanks everyone, I have a Dr appt on 1/21 so I will mention it and maybe have a slight unfill. I'll keep you all posted.

I don't really have any other real symptoms, I can eat mushies and drink (not right after eating though, I have to wait at least an hour). I usually eat chips (2oz) and salsa for lunch. What are Os? Thanks for responding ! And for the welcome !

I was banded on 8/17/06, and have lost 90 lbs, but I am concerned that my band is too tight. Every once in a while I see a small spot of blood after pbing... Does this sound like erosion? Thanks for your feedback !:smile:
