I just posted a part of this on another thread for a different subject, but I'm curious what you guys think:

I got a fill yesterday and it wasn't crap. .6 cc... NO DIFFERENCE.

The first fill I had was wonderful and I actually had my sweet spot right away. They put a full cc in there that time. Even though it wore off in a week, it was great. So, I was expecting something like that this time and no. I knew right away it wasn't even close.

I came to work and drank my Soup.. ate it all no problem (last time I could only drink half). Then I was still starving after the soup.. intense starving pains...

Today I ate an entire can of tuna for Breakfast, no problem... for lunch had a large chili.. no problem.. still hungry.. before there is no way I could have eaten all of this after a fill.. It actually seems as if she took some of the fill out! and never put any back in.

So, I have a 3pm appointment today and I'm going to beg my doctor to just give me a little bit more. I doubt he will, but if I have to cry I will. God, sometimes I feel like I'm a crack whore addicted to drugs or something! and my drug is this band.

I wouldn't be so upset if I didn't have to wait over 4 weeks for my next fill, but apparently somebody quit the fill center so they have a long wait right now :-( I'm going on a cruise in two weeks and I don't want to go hungry, as the food is so good and I know I'll want it!!

Do you think I have a chance in hell that he will give me a little topper??

I don't know....My first 2 fills were over a full CC each - but we could go back every 2wks for additional fills. I've read a bunch that fills can take up to 2wks to "kick" in. That has never been my experience. They either restricted me or not ... So the happy lapband journey of 5 months of getting fills took 7 before I got true restriction.

It's a PITA & willpower / diet had to occupy me in the meantime. Cry a river...see if it works:tongue:
