  1. I have no clue what’s going on with my band. Some days my band is perfectly fine and others it so tight I can’t eat. This keeps happening to me and every time I go get an unfill it feels like I have nothing in my band. They are just adding the smallest amount but the same thing keeps happening over and over. I have no clue what to do…. This happen to anyone else?


  2. I don’t know what going on. I have been stuck going from 194-198 for a month and a half. I have been great on my diet eating around 1400 calories a day (what the doctor told me) and exercising 5-6 times a week 30-40mins each time. My fills are great and I can feel the restriction. I'm just sick of eating right and exercising and nothing happening. What should I do? :devil_smile:


  3. You have to be careful that you are still eating the right amount. Eating to little can slow down weight loss. I'm 5'7 195lbs and 24 years old and I must eat 1400 calories a day or my body will go into starvation mode and hold and store all the food you eat. It's just as important not to eat to little as it is to eating too much. Find out what you should be eating a day.


  4. My scale was SO mean this morning. Yesterday I was 202. This morning I pull the scale out and it says 200! I'm like omg sooo close to being under 200!!! So thinking to myself I want to see the scale go to 199 so I'm getting naked…. I get naked get back on the scale and its says 203. WTF! I just kind of had to laugh not much else I could do. I'm like you I have to weigh everyday even thought I know I shouldn’t because when you don’t' see that it has not gone down a little in 3 days it messes with your head even thou you are losing weight on a steady pace.


  5. I got a fill on Monday and everything has been GREAT! This was the first time I really felt restriction and was thinking I found my sweet spot. I have been staying full from meal to meal and not having to eat a ton to get full. I have only been eating around 1100 calories a day since the fill which I was excited about. Now today all the sudden I am so hungry I just want to eat everything. What’s going on? I have been fighting it all day. If it’s like this every day for the week I know I will break and eat something bad. Anyone ever gone thru something like this?


  6. How many fills have you had? I have had 2 with not much restriction. Hoping # 3 is better.

    My 1st and 2nd fill did nothing at all. Then I went in for my 3rd and they only put in 1cc and I couldn’t get anything down. Its crazy how only 1cc can make you go from no restriction to not getting anything down. I went back in to get an unfill and they took 1/2cc out and it’s been PERFECT! I was feeling so down like I would never get there and now I'm there and it is GREAT!!! Trust me stay on top of your fills and you will get there. It’s just as important to not be over filled as it is to be under filled.


  7. I'm not going to lie the next 3 months are going to suck. You're going to question everything. Did I do the right thing, is this going to work for me, I don’t think I will ever get restriction let alone to my sweet spot. Trust me you WILL get there! You have to do the dirty work of banster hell. BUT once you get thru it…. Its divine on the other side!


  8. I think it’s the band because my stomach growls all the time even when I know I’m not hungry at all. I have heard other people talk about the growling and just say it’s a side effect of the band you have to live with and is well worth it. Not sure about the bloating thou never had any.
