:help: Hi everyone. It has been 18mths since my last fill. Since then I have had a baby but no fill removed (3cc). I started gaining slowly about a year ago but then I was pregnant so didn't get a fill.

I have a little restriction(only in terms of not eating dry meats or fresh bread but not in amount of food I consume) I have forgotten what its like to have proper restriction and know when to stop. I am gaining again from emotional eating and am hoping that a fill will put a stop to that. What do you think?

I am not making really bad choices of food, just too much. I seem to never feel full and satisfied, its like not being banded at all.

:phanvan I am getting really upset about gaining, it is really starting to get to me. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

IMO I think you need to continue to make the good food choices and get a fill Sounds to me that it maight be time, What does your Dr say? Has it been 18 months since you have seen your Dr?

I think its about time for me to get another small fill too...Just dont have the 175.00 yet lol

Thanks for your reply. I saw my doctor last October but didn't have a fill because I was pregnant.

Hopefully will see him in a couple of weeks. He told me to come back 6wks post baby birth, which is next week.:biggrin1:

I am sure glad I am in Australia! (I am assuming you are not...)My fills only cost me AUD$85 and I get about $57 of that back through our health system, PLUS because of where I am living I also get flown to my surgeon by our health system.(This doesn't apply if you live in a regular town or city though..)

Only you know if you truly need a fill. But IMHO it sounds like your ready for one. I never really knew what restriction was until my last fill WHOOOT love it. Good Luck and congrats on the baby

Yay, I am officially booked in and busting to get there!!! I will get my fill on 11 July.:clap2: :clap2:
