Hello all,

I was banded on March 15, 2007. Surgery done in Ypsilanti, MI by Dr. Schram. To date I have lost 30 pounds. However I lost that the first month and have not lost more since then. I have had 3 fills. I think I may need another one. Any thoughts? I am sure I have overeaten the past 2 weeks. Vacation and Daughters High School Graduation party. What damage happens with overeating? Can it be corrected?

Thanks in advance for replies and advice.

Robin

Robin,

Did you feel any restriction with any of your fills? If so, I wouldn't think that you have damaged your band...the only thing I think you could do by overeating is stretch out your pouch....I don't know...maybe after your next fill you will feel restriction....I go for my second fill on Monday...the first one I couldn't really tell any difference, hoping this one will give me some restrictions...

Hi Robin! I'm a Michigander too :mad:

I was lucky enough to feel restricted on my 2nd fill, but everyone is different. The best advice I got from my doc was to limit my portion to 1/2 cup, then see if I am still hungry. Don't test your band!

Also, I have to agree that the first 30lbs was a piece of cake, but I really had to fight for the next 10. I gained a few back due to some ice cream splurges and not exercising, but I just got a new fill and I'm back on track.

Best of luck to you!
