I was banded on oct 3rd with 3cc put in my band in surgery 3 weeks out I have to have 1cc removed because of BAD heartburn couldn't sleep I was in so much pain , but I scheduled my first fill for the 31st , do you think I should still go to it or do you think it's to soon after the un-fill

Are you loosing weight? Do you eat 1 cup or less ar each meal? Are you hungry between meals?

If the answers are yes, yes, no then I say you don't need a fill.

I would rather be too loose than too tight. But that's just me.

Well I can tell I don't have the restriction I had before I had the un-fill if that makes sense i did for the first two days after the un-fill but still can only eat 1cup of food maybe a bit more but I do feel hungry more , and going through that experience before the unfill I'm like you I would rather be to loose then to tight cuz that was not fun ; on my weight loss I've loss 10lbs since surgery but I have lost since the unfill :/ so I'm just confused and don't know what to do

Also I DO not want to feel like I did when I had the un-fill

Sounds like you might need a small fill. My fills now are .2cc, its amazing how such a little bit can make a big difference. I would talk with your doctor about it.

I struggle with this also. Had 3cc at the time of surgery May 24^th then had 1 cc two months ago. Would like to get another ½ cc but I still get stuck sometimes (because I do not chew enough). I am at a standstill losing weight, have not lost any in 3 weeks. So do I take the chance on getting more fill, I think I am in the bandster hell I keep hearing about. Sigh

Getting stuck from not chewing enough.... That will always happen, lol. If you are not loosing and you are getting hungry more often, then you probably need a fill. It doesn't have to be a full cc or even half, like i said I got 2/10cc last fill. Talk with your doc.
