I'm so glad I've come across this post. I was starting to think maybe my band was too tight that I couldn't eat so many foods. Anyway, as for fast food, McDonalds - I order the grilled chicken sandwich plain and eat just the chicken.. every now and then I can handle a few fries. Burger King - same thing as McDonalds. Wendy's - the chicken or just chili. Taco Bell - sometimes I can do a hard taco sometimes I can do the Nacho Belgrande. Subway - nothing lol Chick-fil-a - chicken nuggets.

Thank you guys so much! I'm really going to start working on stopping before I overeat!!

I had surgery on Sept. 9th so thats almost 3 months ago. I've had 4 fills, 3cc the 1st, 3cc the 2nd, 1cc the third, and 1cc the 4th. I am feeling restriction, but can't get the "full" feeling so I am still hungry when I have to physically make myself stop eating or it'll come back up. I have also been having pain in my chest after eating certain things, mostly dinner time. Maybe its from over eating.. I don't know. But I still feel hungry after my pouch is filled with food and maybe a 1/2 hour to an hour later I'm even more hungry. Any experienced this or have any suggestions..???

Check out Surgical Specialists of Louisiana. I had Dr. Clark Warden. They are great!

I now have 7cc in a 10cc band and feeling some restriction, things are beginning to get stuck. But even though things are getting stuck and I feel that the pouch is full after eating a bit, I'm still hungry and want to eat more, but simply can't. Does this mean I need another fill to get to that actual "full feeling?"

I'm shocked there is even a 4cc band! I've never heard of that. I have a 10cc band and already have 6ccs and still have little restriction. My bmi is at 39 right now. I don't think I would have agreed to have just a 4cc band put in me.. theres not much room to work with to get to your "sweet spot." But yea, I'd definitely get another fill I were you.

I had the kind of pain you're talking about right in the beginning, that hurt a lot more than the pain I'm having now. I had that pain mostly when I was trying to get up or roll over. But this pain is a bit different and is right after I eat but only last for maybe 1/2 hour.

I had surgery over a month ago and today I had a new, different kind of pain. After eating I started feeling cramping/sharp pains in my left side and a little in my lower stomach area. Has anyone experienced this?

They are all obviously a bit red which sometimes means a slight infection. Mine looked like this for just a few days and when I went for my follow up visit 2 weeks after the surgery they gave me a prescription for antibiotics and was told to continue washing them with anti bacterial soap and by the end of the weekend if it wasn't better to fill the prescription. They ended up getting better and didn't need the medicine. I'd suggest calling your doctor just to be safe.

Sounds great! Thank you so much!!

Okay, thanks. What do they charge?
