#1 I lost about 50 with one or two fills. It seemed to me that the band was no longer working. I would eat and be hungry again in a few minutes. Anyway, people here pointed out that I needed a fill because the weight loss caused loss of restriction (so, fat near band). Got a fill and lost 12 more. Now I am again getting hungry. Could I need another fill already? Would 12 pounds do it?

#2 has anyone asked for the band to be loosened to go on vacation or for a break? I am vacationing with my in-laws who will make me nuts. I eat way more often now and a lot less.

Yea sounds like you're due for another fill to me. I go every 4 weeks for a fill.

Yea my doctor does that for when you go on vacations.

Hope you have a good one!!! I'm going to Disney World at the end of August. I won't ask for an unfill because for the most part I have no problems when it comes to eating meals. I just eat a lot less.
