I went private to have my band fitted aug 2012. That day was going to change my life, I had to do a pregnancy test on my day, I wasn't pregnant, I had a small band with 4mls in and a free hernia repair, 2 days later I was in so much pain, I was told to go a nhs, cutting a long story short Im pregnant! !! my package was put on hold till baby was here,

since june ive started having in fills Im on 6mls in a 10ml band, I feel no restriction and im worried as I was hoping the fat would melt of, I only had my band done as I wanted to lose 6 stone, x

on 4mls when eating, I use to feel funny as if I was going to pass out, till it passed, and wouldn't eat again till later, , I've never been sick whilst eating, o also try and stick to a kiddie plate, and still don't feel satisfied

Do you drink enough water, get in enough protein, ??? i have 7.8 cc's in my 14 cc band and some days i dont feel restriction either... people have told me this is normal not to fret about it.. if you are feeling hungry very soon after you eat call your dr's office it might be time for another fill.. if not.. journal what you eat maybe something needs to be tweaked.. or give your nutritionist a call they will be able to help

tracking the food every bit is key for me. I stopped and gained 8 lbs I am back to tracking and down a lb today thank God..its tricky you need to plan every bit I eat every 4 hours even if I get hungry before that but I chart that so I can tell the doctor if I see a pattern, then we both know if its head hunger or real hunger and I need a fill.Its much easier to stick to the program in the beginng the "bandaster hell" is a great motivater but after a while you get lazy at least I did when the stress got bad...at least this time I got right on it and no matter what I am doing the work its harder now and I long for the time it hurt to eat but I know better and will do better back to the gym tomorrow that will make a big difference I now know that...good luck and I hope you are able to get to it.....its hard no one will tell you it isn't but it is so worth it really
