  1. Iam having the same problems, I got my 4th fill on the 26th of May and at first I was vomiting with every meal. It was a major shock to me because I had no problem eating whatever, whenever and however before this fill. I am now down to only vomiting 2-3 times a week. I called my doctor because not only with the vomiting I was also having severe pain when I ate too fast or didn't chew good enough. He told me that was happening(the eating too fast and not chewing good) because I was going 4-5 hours without eating anything and by the time I did sit down to eat I was too hungry and not listening to my body. He said that ideally I should be eating 6 small meals a day each no more than 200 calories. So if you figure you are awake 16-18 hours a day then you should be eating at least ever 3 hours. Since talking to him I have done this and I am having no problems and have lost 5lbs this week. Hope this helped a little but as we know all bodies are different and every doctors advice is different. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
  2. I was banded on Dec. 16th and have lost 26lbs. I just had my 4th fill yesterday and am finally feeling some restriction. Up until now I never felt any restriction and was hungry every 3 hours. I hope this fill works I now have 6cc in the band and 1cc in the tubing???? in a 10cc band. Good luck to you it sounds like you are doing great.

  4. I was banded on 12/16/09 and have lost 25 lbs. I just had my second fill yesterday. I have 4cc in a 10cc band, so since it was just yesterday I am feeling really restricted.
  5. LMAO ~ I was beginning to think something was really wrong. I was banded on 12/16/09 and it took about 2 weeks for the feeling like a balloon in the chest disappears. I am one of those types that have to drink soda to get a little burp, not a problem now! I also have a 10 year old and a dog so the passing gas can easily be blamed on them. Good Luck to all of you!!!!
  6. I am so discouraged. I was banded on 12/16/09 and for the first month everything went fine lost 17lbs and I was eating about 4 oz every 5-6 hours. The next month I was eating around the same but now adding some walking to it. Went for appointment and only lost 4 pounds, so I got my first fill of 3cc. OMG since that happened I have been soooo hungry. I am eating 6-8 oz every 5-6 hours now I am 3 days from my next appointment/fill and I have lost no weight this month. Does anyone know why this is happening???
