I hate to post this kind of thing but I really appreciate and respect all of your opinions. so here it is ... the question ... should I get another fill!?!

So I had my third fill 2 1/2 weeks ago and was very tight at first. Now as the time goes on I am loosening up to a point where although I can feel some restriction when eating I dont stay full for very long. My concern is that last time at least 1/3 of the saline was not in the band from the previous fill so I am wondering if that has happened again. On the other hand, I am not sure if my sense of what an appropriate meal is has become totally distorted!

Last night I had 3 oz chicken, 2 oz spinach and about 1 oz of brown rice.

For Breakfast today I had a glass of skim milk.

For lunch today I had 2 egg whites, 6 lf ritz crackers with about 1 1/2 oz lf cheese and a 4 oz fruit cup and although I am getting some first bite syndrome i do not feel particularly full now. Seems like a lot right? certainly more than I could eat the first week after my fill.

My concern is that I know my doctor will be going away for the holidays and it usually takes 1-2 weeks to schedule.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated and I apologize in advance for the nature of this post.

Well at first I was gonna say get a tiny fill..but now reading your post a few more times I thinking u should wait it out a bit. See if you still are losing. If not..then go for a tiny more fill. Good luck

Thanks for taking the time to read you post. I should probably wait it out. I lost 6 lbs the first week after the fill and then about 2lbs the second week, this week I think I haven't lost any. I guess what is the damage in waiting until after the holidays anyway right?

Well the thing you have to make sure of is what is it going to be like when your band fluctuates as I'm sure it does the same as the rest of us. Period week for me is the one that always gets me. Gotta make sure I'm loose enough to survive that week.
