Have a 10 cc band. I'm currently at 3.6 cc's. I have NO restriction (feeling hungry all day!) and I'm NOT losing any weight--- I'm even exercising daily! I go in tomorrow for another fill. I hope it helps because it is so frustrating to feel this hungry all day!

Here's the link to the article if anyone is interested.

That's a great article. Thanks.

I have reached the point where I can eat about a can of tuna and feel satisfied. However, I am HUNGRY (like stomach growling so loud I think the neighbors hear it hungry) within 2-3 hours. I have 2 more weeks until I go in for my next fill. I'm thinking I just need a little more in my band and will feel better. I cannot eat any breads anymore, but thats not really a bad thing. Baked Chicken and any dry meats are out too. I'm learning that Tuna and salads are my friends...again, not a bad thing. Now, to see the scale start to move more quickly and it will be a GREAT thing

I completely understand...i'm in the same boat...have u had your gallbladder checked out..I found out, my gallbladder is inflammed and has a stone. I'll be having it removed in the next couple of weeks and I hope it fixes the problem!

Hang on there the process takes a whole because they have to find the exact amount of fill for your band so you can lose weight.
