I have a 10cc band. I have had 6.1 at one time but sensitive me is currently at 4.6. I do feel restriction but could eat more if i wanted to but i dont allow myself to.

I am the same way. I have had just as many unfills and I have had fills. My doctor said i am one of the small percentages that is very sensitive and i have to be careful. It is hard, it has been 9 1/2 months since my surgery but i am happy with the results so far.

I ve been banded for 6 months and this just happened to me yesterday. i have called my doctor and hope to find out why. let us know your progress.

I woke up yesterday morning feeling very "tight" with my band. I can hardly eat anything and drinking and taking my pills is very difficult. It has been 5 weeks since my last fill and i see the dr next week. What is going on??? Please help. Thank you.

I use www.sparkpeople.com to keep a log of what i eat every day. I am finding that i am not eating enough carbs...or at least according to the website. How many carbs a day do you eat? Where do you get your carbs from?
