I put a thread on this board but no one answered me. Thanks a lot. So I'm going to try again. I have been banded for 16 months and lost 40 pounds which is not as much as I wanted to lose but is better than nothing. The problem is that my band which is a larger one has 4.5 cc in it. That has worked for almost a year but lately, my pouch seems to empty awfully fast and I get hungry. Also I seem to eat more than I did to fill it up. I suspect it is stretched a bit, but if I don't eat exactly right, I throw up. Yesterday, I was so hungry that I ate the wrong way and threw up 3 times. Today, I ate prime rib, baked potato and a piece of bread!!! That is three, count them, three, exclamation marks. Do you think I should get another fill? I don't know what to do. I didn't think I'd have to have a fill 16 months after I got the band. Help!:rose:

Sounds like you may need a fill for sure. I'm 16 months out and I am constantly filling and unfilling. Sorry!

Do you guys have to pay for your fills? I have just found out that under my contract I only get two fills and after that they are £100 (£200 dollars) What a bummer!

Mine are $200 US each.

So the same as ours then

I got 3 free with the surgery and from now on I pay 160.00
