I had the same problem healthy but fat, so i taked about depression...it worked

My doc will only do 3 fills, says that is all it should take, seems like he has it down, does your dr. charge for the fills or are they included in the surgery?

Wow this is awful and so sorry this happened to you, can you go to another dr. and find out if there is any way he can give you a fill? My dr. will only do three fills. says that is all you need after that is is the dr.making money...i got banded nov 06 and have had 2 fills lost 78 lbs with 40 or so to go...

Try Pineapple Juice, I Have Heard This Works I Havent Tried It Myself, I Usally Throw Up Until It Comes Up...

I think that you need more fill so far you only have 1.75 in a 4 cc band, sounds like the dr. is very conservative on is fills. thats my 2 cents worth i also havea 4 cc fill but have 3cc and feel just right..

i do garage sales and not to many clothes at a time, since the weight does come off fast.

way to go molly and good luck, let us know how it goes, we will all be here for support..

My Dr. will only do three fills, says that is all anyone needs after that it is just the Dr. making money, the first fill to get restriction, the second becaus ethe belly fat goes first and the band will get lose and the last one.So it just depends on your Dr.

Not To Worry I Had Staples, It Surprised Me Because I Am Allergic To Metal, And It Started To Itch, So I Took A Peek, Called The Dr. Had Them Out In A Jiffy, No Pain Put Tape Over Cut After That...

i went to the dr,yesterdaythinking i was going to get a fill would be mythird since nov. o6 and he didnt want to do it says he will only do 3 to 4 fills, after that it is just the other dr.wanting more money,it should be tight enough, thatwe lose the wieght from the stomach first so that is the second fill, have you ever heard this before?

i have heard it go both ways depends on your Dr. and how bad theslippage is, good luck let us know how it goes..
