Hello- Please can I join you folks? I was banded 10/8/05 (Dr. Kuri, 11 mm "monster big" band) and have had 2 fills,last one right before Christmas @6.5 ml, yet I still am not restricted enough, and I am resisting the urge to go for another fill. I have lost 38 pounds which I am happy about but I lost most of it right after the surgery. 1-2 pounds a month since then seems very slow to me. But I know that slow is a good way to go, so I'm trying to be patient. The weight came on slow over the course of years, so at least its leaving faster than it arrived. Question? Is anybody else dealing with mental hungries?? :hungry: I am ready to gnaw the legs off furniture, yet I am not physically hungry. Good to share with you ...let me know if I am in this group. Sincerely, Patty Bear
