Hi there. I am a year post surgery. I am struggling tremendously. I am not feeling full even after 3 cups of food. I feel like something is wrong although I don't feel any discomfort or pain. I saw the doctor today and they tell me that nothing is wrong with my band unless I am feeling some sort of discomfort or pain. I just don't know how it's possible to not feel full after 3 cups of food. When I initially got the band it was a great tool. I felt full after one cup of food but it would wear off after a few weeks so I got a fill. The full feeling would last a week or two but then I would feel hungry again after a cup of food. I would go back and get another fill but the effectiveness has been less and less time after each fill. I have had 7 fills counting today's and I feel like I am starving already. I feel like I am beating my head against the wall. HELP!!
