my band is a 10ml, and to date I have it 50% filled. 3ml the first fill and 1ml on each subsiquent fill.
I eat and drink but reduce the quantities I eat but as yet the band has not restricted my volume intake.
Within 2 hours of breakfast I encounter hunger "pains" & fill up with coffe/tea & then a small meal for lunch, no calorie liquids till evening meal.
By which time I am famished so I tend to "stuff" myself. Guess it's time I suggested to the centre that I need a second fill. Thank you for your responses
I had my first fill april 17th. As yet I have no restriction on quantity of food I can consume at a sitting. Any restrictions is due to me trying to change the qty & type of food I eat.How often should I ask to be "filled"?
I've recently had my first fill and it appears to have no effect on the amount of food I consume. I guess it comes down to a lifestyle choice that has to be made.
Have you been to have your chest x-rayed to ensure that the band has not slipped?
I had my first fill a.m. today
I was banded March 14th.
As yet I feel unrestricted, although from reading earlier posts on this topic it may take a day or two to be effective.
I live in hope.
