Band not tight enough???

Just like each of us experience different FULL levels on different amounts of cc in our band .. each Dr has it's OWN protcol on fills.

It's likely you need another tweek.. Most doctors won't give you another fill until four weeks pass .. it's better to fill slowly and adopt good eating habit along the way because when you do get that next fill the rules will really kick in.. like chew chew chew.. wait 30 min before meals and 30 min after .. 4 ounces at a meal time etc, plenty of water etc.

Also for me personally it takes 2 weeks for me to really FEEL my fill kick in...
So I could call your dr office and make sure you have another appointment scheduled in 4 weeks to get another tweek.

Oh my gosh I'm getting ready to start to and I'm so with you on the eating!!!!! I struggle every month on this and it's frustrating. I eat like that to so don't feel bad. I can't ever find that one food that I want so I eat everything trying yo find it lol. I did ask my doc about this and he didn't feel comfortable giving me a fill because I do pretty good the other weeks. He was scared it would make me to tight. He told me to the best I can that week he said alot of women go through this "sigh". Some days I do good and other days ido what you did. It will last a week to a week and half for me
