I wondered how many fills it took people to reach a point where much less food kept them full for hours. I have had two fills and at first I was able to eat small amounts and stay full for hours. But both times after about two weeks I am getting really hungry again. Going back in a few days for my third fill.

I was actually wondering the same thing because i got my fill 2 weeks ago and i dont feel any different than i did before my fill. I cant wait till my second fill and feel a little more restriction because i cant stand the feeling of guilt everytime i eat a meal

Its is great when I first get a fill but then after about 2 weeks the hungrys start. Hoping for a longer time after this fill.

You are so lucky! It took 5 months and seven fills before I felt any restriction. You are almost there! Good luck to :thumbup:you!

I've had 3 fills and one unfill in the last 4 weeks. The first was 3 cc...nothing. The second was 3 cc...just a bit of trouble with french bread. Third fill (see signature line) was 2 cc. At that point I couldn't eat most solids without getting stuck. They took 1 cc out today and I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot.

I'm fortunate that I don't have a doctor that makes his patients wait months between fills...but then he has a band also and has first hand experience with it as well as 'book' knowledge.

Will this be my last fill? Who knows, but I am at the point where I have restriction and can eat 'normally' but not to excess.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
