So, I got my band 5 weeks ago today. I have lost 22 pounds most of that in the first three weeks. The past three weeks have been tortorous losing a pound a week. I have yet have a fill and am struggling slightly. I am monitoring everything I eat very carefully but, am still hungry and feel like I am dieting all the time.... this is exactly why I got the lapband - to not feel hungry.......... Anyone give me an estimate on how many fills it takes before you hit the right place? I get my first fill next week and just want to be prepared as to how many fills it may take to get me where I want to be............. Thanks - Balastrea's Wife

I too get my first fill next week and i am soooo EXCITED about it!!! I too have kinda slowed way down with losing weight and can't wait til i start losing again...from what people have been telling me it sounds as though it could take up to 4-5 fills til you hit that sweet spot but everyone is different. I was told not to get my hopes up too much where the first fill is concerned but i look at it this way..If i can get ANY type of restriction it will help..Keep ya head up..It will happen soon...:mad:
