Rican Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Hi There! I was banded on Nov 7th 08 and had my first fill on Jan 5th 09. My fill was 1.8cc and I can eat anything I want. I get scared because I'm thinking that my band might have slipped and that's why I can eat anything I want. Could somethng be wrong with my band? I go back to OCC to get my 2nd Fill on 03/07/09 and I'm hoping they will give me a tighter fill because I haven't been losing weight. My weight when I was banded was 193 lbs and I am at 174 lbs. I've been at this weight for the last 4 weeks and it doesn't come down. Help!!!
bigali Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Remember that the band is a TOOL not a miracle worker and you have to work with it. Are you eating healthier choices of food? Are you exercising? you need to do work for the weight to come off, but good luck to you.
Amanda2008 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 If you can eat anything you want with no restriction, then you probably do need another fill.
yoyodieter Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Not having restriction after the first fill is normal, If your band had slipped, you would not be able to eat anything. It takes most people 2 or 3 fills to hit their sweet spot, sometimes more. Not sure how tall you are but according to your weight it looks like you have a lower BMI, The less you have to lose, It seems the tougher it is! Hang in there, you are normal, and you should see a difference with your next fill.
