I guess I can join the crowd, I had my lapband done 8/4, have a realize band, have had 4 fills, have 4.5 cm in my band, am hungry too. Going for a fill on Wednesday. Would hate to think I'm going to have to wait til I get to 8.something to get restriction!! Marti in San Jose

I had lap band 7/08 have had 5 fill last fill on end of Feb. Still not right. its a little better but not like i think it should be. My doctor said it will be a while before they will give me anoter one. They want to say is enough but they are not me. I have a 9cc band. I have lost 21bls the first week and then five weeks lost 6lbs then gain it back and did not lost anymore weight until this last fill I lost 10lbs and it was very hard to do that. I sometime wish i did the other one.

I had lapband 5/08. I can't even remember how many fills I'm at now, because it seems like a lot. But I have a 14 cc band and I'm somewhere around 9-10. I still feel like I can eat anything also. However, I notice when I follow the doctor's directions, I do seem fuller longer. Meaning, stick to proteins first, then fruits and vegetables. So when I want to snack...haha...I go for leftover steak or whatever meat I've got. I also am not hungry in the mornings so I try to make myself take a protein shake then, it has about 20g of protein in it. Just bought some 60g protein shake from GNC and see if that will help with the late night hungers for me. I have lost a total of 50 lbs so far...but have plateau'd for the last 4-5 months...so I am really kicking this into HI gear now and working my butt off at the gym 2 hours a day 5 days a week. Hopefully I'll start losing again.
