Band Question
Hey all. I am 3 years and almost 4 months out from my band. I had a slight fill in March that put me at 9.3 cc's, my band holds 11cc's. I am able to eat a ton of food and always feel hungry. Which is NOT normal for me. I used to only be able to eat about 6 oz. I have gained about 10 lbs back since I have been more hungry lately. Has this happened to anyone else? What could be causing this? Thought I would come here before making a Dr Appt.
Maybe you need another small fill? Are you starting meals with dense protein, choosing crunchy over soft foods?
Probably silly questions as at three years out you know how to do this!
But if you have no restriction, despite a recent fill, maybe you need to get checked out. Leaks can happen.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
That really doesn't sound right at all, you should be feeling restriction at that level. Leaks are very possible at any point. Sometimes they can accidentally hit the tubing with the needle or it just breaks for whatever reason. If I were you I would see the surgeon again, he should be able to check it by pulling out what is in there and comparing it to his records. I hope you are able to resolve the situation soon.
