I had my surgery 4-13-10....same thing...and I had the same question. The advice I received was take this time to eat slow....chew chew and chew some more...... Try to start with your Protein and stop eating when you are no longer hungry. The hardest part for me then and now is still the eating slow enough. I do faily OK when at home...when I go out with friends I try to eat as fast as I talk.....OUCH! I have lost 81 lbs since my sugery.....just take this time to learn the rules and how to use your band....it is worth it!!!

Hi there

Congrats!!! you're off to a great start!!! now listen, this isnt magic, so dont expect an overnight miracle....this is a tool, and it will work for you, if you use it and respect it. I have had many fills (and a brief unfill) and heres the quick answer.....Everyone is different. Everyone will get to that spot where they are at perfect restricition at different times....for some, it may only take 1 fill, for others, it could take 5 fills.....

stay in touch with your dr. if you're still not at restriction, and hungry, call back. ask for another fill. just go slow with it...trust me, you do NOT want to get too tight......I am at about 8ccs and I think I will stay here for a while...

the band changes as your body does...things like colds, your cycle, allergies, even weight loss will affect the band. so you will be dealing with this in some form for the rest of your life...just dont wait too long for visits....and if you think you're too tight, yeah, you prolly are...

hang in there!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
