a little nervous.....

So recently Ive been writing some posts about how hungry Ive been. Well this feeling has been going on now for over a week. Im still soooo hungry and nothing I eat fills me up. I called my surgeon today and I have an appt with her next Tuesday. Im just so nervous I have a leak or something. I have no restriction at all right now. She said I could just need another fill. But I dont understand because the last fill I got in December was perfect. I could eat my cup of food and be completely satisfied for hours. Im sure its nothing and Im just worrying for no reason. Im still new to the fills and finding my "sweet spot" but I thought I found my "sweet spot" in December lol!!

Have you lost weight since your last fill?  As you lose, the band will be "looser" and thus requiring another adjustment.  

My last fill was Dec. 28 since then Ive lost 14.5 pounds. I didnt know that the band gets looser as I lose weight. Thanks for telling me this lol For some reason I always jump to the worst conclusion and get very nervous. Im hoping I just need another fill!

I needed a fill about every 10 - 15 pounds that I lost --- yes, your band gets looser as you lose weight ---- just like you need to tighten a belt on your jeans you need to tighten up your band.

Also -- that is one of the reasons that I just don't buy the whole 'sweet spot' idea -- what is sweet one day is too loose or too tight the next day.
It is more like a 'zone' -- some days you are in it and other days you are not.

Get a small fill --- don't freak out --- eat sensibly until you get more fluid in your band.
