Hi everyone. I was banded on 8/29 and have my first fill app Thur. I'm not sure whether I even need a fill or not. I feel like I eat a lot but when I look at my food log, I don't go over 1200 caleries and I feel satisfied with a Cup of food. I do however tend to snack in the evenings, but I'm sure some that's head hunger. I stay full for about 3-4 hours. I know I'll talk to my dr. Just curious for some opinions

I was at the same stage as you two weeks ago and wasn't sure if I should have got anymore fill but after discussing it with my fill doctor she put in . 3 and it was enough to make me loose interest in the night time snacking urge.

Now I need to be extra careful to get enough calories in through the day as I easily go up to six hours not feeling any hunger and if I'm out all day and distracted I actually forget to eat as food doesn't even enter my mind.

The doctor will probably put a fill in anyway. To lessen the chance of over eating, especially at night.

Your doctor will probably keep giving you fills until you are in the "green zone". That's what mine did and it really has been great staying there....not hungry all of the time, feeling restriction, losing weight, etc. You will know when you are "in the zone!"

I know this is an old post, but I have yet to get the band. And... this gives me a lot of hope that it will work. I thought you just have to fight the cravings and diet like mad, that it would just make you vomit(which in and of itself is plenty incentive not to overdo!, but this sounds wonderful. To forget about eating. I think about not too much else! WOO HOO! I dont even have my first dr appt till next wednesday, but have been reading about it.Im wondering what to expect, and skeert! Sandy
