I recently got my second fill. Since then, when I eat, I get full on relatively small quantities of food. Unfortunately, I get hungry 1-2 hours later (no liquids either). I assume that this is because I have some restriction from my fill but not enough to keep the food in my upper stomach pouch for very long.

Does this make sense? If so, I need another fill!

Well that's what I thought too, but then I got my second fill and realize I liked it better before! I did better eating small quantities frequently. Now at only 2.6cc I have a hard time getting down my protein causing me to eat more carbs, keeping me fuller longer....and guess what? Gained 2 pounds this week. I'll be asking for an un-fill to go back to where you are, if it doesn't get closer to that on it's own soon!

According to my doctors guidelines yes, that means you are not quite there yet but getting close. A slight fill just might do the trick.

it takes a few weeks for your fill to fully take effect. So give it sometime. If in a month you are still hungry after 1-2 hours then get another fill

You know I feel this way all the time. I feel like just when I think I've figured it out things change and I'm guessing again. I'm full and can't eat another bite and in an hour or two because I ate so little I'm hungry again. I'm starting to think I'm just eating too fast. That it's backing up on it's way down. But then moves through and I'm hungry. I have had 1 fill that I remember (1 after surgery I don't) and 5.5cc's in my band. My next fill isn't until mid May. Hope to figure things out because I'm so confused about whether I need a fill or not.

I feel the same way. I have about 7cc in a 10cc band and I am still not losing weight. Lost 25 but have 50 more to go. Feel like I wish they would totally fill it at first,then take saline out as needed. At least I would have lost a ton of weight by now! SO FRUSTRATED! Banded Oct 2010
