Hi Karen, You accidentally posted this on the "April 2008" surgery board -- meaning we are all having our surgeries this month. You might want to repost it on either the "Main" or "Lap Band" forum boards. Good luck with your inquiries! Laura

Hi Karen, You are not alone. I had my lap band surgery on 12/26/07 and I am getting ready to have fill # 3 this coming Thursday. I just can't understand how I can gain weight if I'm wating my calories, exercising, and drinking more than enough water. I know that the fill amount is different for everyone. I'm just hoping that my gets to that point for me real soon. Right now I have 3.5cc's in a 10cc limit band. I saw somewhere that it showed the average amount of fill that helps people with their weight loss runs around 3.5cc-4.5cc. You probably need another fill. I would give your doctor a call and see what they say. Are you having problems with being hungry all the time as well? I am so I try my very best to keep myself as busy as possible and as far away from the kitchen as well. Hang in there and I hope your doctor will be able to get your some answers. Marie
