  1. 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 .
  2. 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
