I got my Realize band on Jan. 6 and got my first fill of 4ccs on Friday 3rd of April. I had been binging and felt no need to throw up or otherwise feel miserable, so as to "learn my lesson" not to do such this. I wanted so much to feel sick so as to stop myself from doing this again. I was depressed and my surgeon could only ask me if I was "excercising"--he wasn't too happy with my depression. But to me, I was just back to my old habits, and very very scared that nothing would ever help me. I got the fill and thought I would do better...suprise! I can binge and I only get a small tummy ache--and a large case of obesity guilt. Does anyone know if the "new stomach" one gets which is supposed to be the size of a golfball, could actually burst from overeating? Has anyone else been binging with a lap band? How did you get over it????? Praying Patty

Oh, honey, I'm with you!!! It's great to read what you have written. I too feel that I should have done something else, like getting a gastric bypass instead of this lap band. I know those people REALLY lose weight. I had a choice but chose the band. Well, I've lost weight, but for about a month now I am really, really hungry. I bing and don't feel bad! Just a little tummy ache. So, I think...hey, aren't I supposed to throw up or something? I have had no fill at all! I got my band Jan 6 and since I did lose, then the PA said I could continue like this until my next visit which is this week (March 30). I am ashamed to step on the scale and see 5 lbs. more or something horrible like that. I am mad, too, because I feel I can still binge. But I guess I should rant and rave that I want a FILL!!!!! Don't want to stay in the 190s forever. Praying Patty
