  7. It's too early, when I had my band it took me almost 3 to4 months several fill and unfilled. Weight goes up fast but comes down slow. I would check with Dr and see if you can get fill maybe .5 cc start small. I love bread and I usually toast it very well so it's crunchy and I chew it. It takes time lapband has his own brain and takes time to get a hang of it. For two years I had PBS finally two months ago I am ok with my fill I don't get hungry often and I eat solid food just be patien. I was banded May 2012 I lost 35lb and gained 10lb between up and down .
  8. It happen to me, they unfilled 1cc because I was dehydrated and I gained 10 lb and went back had .8 filled two weeks ago and didn't loose any weight, scare to go back and not sure to wait longer or not. Gaining weight is nightmare for me I stopped gaining after last fill but no weight loss. Frustrated and confuse
  9. I had my fill two weeks ago feel some restriction but no weight lost, how long I have to wait I know I am eating less and I am less hungry but no weight loss. Please advice if you experience same situation.

  19. Does anyone knows any other place just do Fill? Cardiff center web site is down and I don't think they are in business. Please let me know I live in North county San Diego and have a hard time to find fill DR. I had my LapBand in Tijuana and don't want to go there for fill. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelet me know.
  20. this is ripoff even without insurance, not so many band center and Dr's taking advantage.Try to find band center in your area, it's very easy procedure and should not cost that much.
  21. Thank you so Much, My husband is going to drive me today to Tijuana and get unfill. Hopefully it will help. its like roller coaster but I am happy to be light I lost 45 lb from 185 to 140 My ideal weight .... Thanks

    Takes time I had same problem and started getting High protein shake with low sugar from costco. It helped and my hair growing back. Don't worry once you start eating chicken, milk and yogurt it helps.
