3rd fill...

So I'm going to go have my 3rd fill on Friday...:unsure: a little nervous because after my 2nd fill I was way to tight and am scared of getting over filled again today.

Even though my Doc does the fills with Fluro and he can see the liquid pass through the band I still am nervous but KNOW I need a fill because I get hungry after 2 hours and I mean stomach rumbling hungry and I can eat way more the 3-4oz of Protein and 1/2 cup of veggies and 1/4 starch per meal.

So here's hoping all goes well after friday and I get back to losing weight!

I know he is gonna be unhappy with my weight loss so far but it's hard even with the band to lose weight it's just a tool not a cure all.....:huh: keep telling yourself that Zen keep telling yourself that!

So when you had your second fill, did it always feel too tight or did that go away? My first fil is Friday. My appetite has picked up and it's making me nervous :( I really hope the fill helps out quickly.

For me it takes a good 1-2 weeks to "feel" the fill so after the 2nd week when I was getting stuck and vomiting after every meal I knew I was too full. And that's why I got a unfill about 4 weeks later I should have gotten it done sooner but I go to Mexico to get my fills and they are only there one week out of the month.

I'm feeling the same way -- I'm scheduled for my fourth fill next week and know that it's time. I get the same grumbly tummy and feel like I can eat SO much more than people on these forums! I'm hoping I'll get a fill as well and that will help. I'll hope for you that you don't experience the same overfill. That has to be a terrible feeling. Don't worry too much about the weight loss -- 26 pounds lost is still 26 pounds lost! I look at it like this -- when was the last time I can say in six months that I've actually lost this much weight and not gained? Good luck with your trip to see your surgeon. Keep up all posted -- I always look at how you're doing!
