I know its impossible to know exactly, but how long can it last?

Hi all. I was banded on 5/10/10. I have already lost 55 lbs. total. My las fill was a month ago. Still feel restricted and tight. Food intake certainly did not increase. Yet for the last 2 weeks did not lose any weight. Is it time for a fill even though I feel very tight? Currently at 4.5ccs. Thanx

Hi All. I had my first fill this past Thursday, June 10, 3 cc's. Sometimes I feel really hungry. I have a minimal amount to eat, for example, a small, sliced up tomato, and half a slice of baked salmon. I begin to feel like I'm bursting and can't even finish the rest of the salmon. So I stop. But then I begin to fell hungry again like 3-4 hours later. Is this normal, or do I need another 1/2-1 cc? Thanx.

Well sure I was told. But I ate BEFORE the fill. After the fill I just had a sip of water. Also stuff coming up is clear fluid.

Hi All. I had my first fill today a month after surgery. 4 cc's. I ate lunch (can of tuna mushed and with mayo) about an hour and a half before that and felt fine. About an hour after the fill i had a small sip of water. It's now 5 hours later and can't stop throwing up. Too big of a fill? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I ate before that? Should I be concerned or will it just pass overnight? Thanx.
