Contemplating a fill

So just a quick back story. Banded 12/20. Had restriction for the first 4 months or so, decided to get my first fill in may. I was still losing but feeling hungrier. Though I did not give in and eat more. The fill was only 0.75 cc. Initially I felt good back to where I had been. That only lasted a week or two. I've been hungry again, again not giving in. I'm still losing, in fact last couple weeks have been really god. I've discovered if I mix a day or two of eating less than 1000 calories in during the week I lose a lot better.

So my question is do I get a fill? I'm not looking for the band to tell me I can't have a piece of bread (though I don't eat it often). I want opinions if I should get it just to control the hunger. Though usually drinking a bunch of Water calms it down. And like I said even though it is there I stay within my calories.

It's not going to change the level of how hungry you feel, but it should make it so once you eat a small meal, you're not hungry again for 4-5 hours. If I was in your position, I'd get another small fill.

Sounds like a fill may be in order. I would deffinately go in and talk with your surgeon. Congrats on doing so well!
