I need some advice. I got my second fill on May 15th for a total of 2.25 cm in a 10 cm band. At first I felt the restriction and things were going ok. After about a week, I noticed I was eating larger portions and was getting very hungry after only 3-4 hours. About 4 hours after lunch I am ready to eat my arm with my stomach growling like a lion. I think that if I get a small fill I will get to that point of eating less and not being starving so quickly. What do you think????? Oh, BTW, I haven't lost any weight in the past 1 1/2 weeks and my snacking has increased (which is why I am sure I haven't lost any weight).

Thanks.....

I have 8.5cc in a 10cc band and even though I am hardly ever hungry I can still eat way too much food. Obviously everyone is different but 2.25cc isn't very much fill and I'm not surprised you are hungry. Talk to your dr's office and see if you can go for another fill.

I was just like that. I had my third fill last Tuesday, May 20th. This time it kind of hurts to eat. especially in the morning till noon. even liquids go down slowly. It's not bad pain but i feel it when i eat too much too fast. I have to eat very slowly. I'm glad though because before I could eat too much too fast. Hopefully this will slow me down.

4 hours is just about right. If you are starving though you need a fill. Good luck.
