I am not sure but, it sounds like you are having the same problems with your blood sugar that I had with mine. LOW BLOOD SUGAR,or hypoglyceima. I had the same problems you are having when I first had my surgery it started about 6-8 months post-op. I didn't have any one to talk to about what I was feeling or going through. This made feel ashame that I want to eat more the the three meal that my doctor told me that I should be eating.Plus,I felt I was letting everyone down including my self by feeling hungry. All I kept thinking is that I can't gain this weight back again not after all I had been through to have the surgery and the few people I did tell only made me feel even worse because of their comments like that why you had the surgery in the first place because you couldn't stop eating. So I didn't tell people about what I was going through and more. I went back to my old way of not eating in the street to give appears that I was doing okay only to come home and every thing in sight. Some times until I would make myself sick. It wasn't until I started to notice that I was not losing weight any more did I start to talk to my Thyiod doctor thinking there had to be something wrong with it. She listen to me and she know what was my problem and sent me to the nutritionist who also use to work for a bariatric doctor when she lived in Texas. She put me on a diabete diet. Now, I take my blood sugar very morning eat 5 small meal a day to keep my blood sugar in check. I think back to how many days I felt ashame about what I was going through not realizing that it just my body doing what it do. It amazing me I never had a problem with diabetes before my surgery but, since then I do because I not eating enough food now. Life is so funny lol lol lol Robin P.S. I hope this information help you I know I wish I had someone to talk to when I was going through this. Oh Yeah if is your blood sugar and you don't get check by a doctor so they can help you. You can end up with diabetes. That what I was told by the nutritionist because your body still producing too much insulin for the little amount of food you eat. Plus, you could end up blacken out at the department store like I did one and blame it on the heat. Not, my blood sugar did that to me and much more. You see I had my surgery in 2004 I weigh 416 on surgery day I now weigh 275. So I know what I talking about when it come to this problem if low blood sugar is what wrong with you. Please no matter what you feel or how people are making you feel talk to your DOCTOR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH PLEASE!!!!

You may need another fill. I am almost 3 months post op laparoscopic lap band surgery and i've had 3 fills to make sure i have enough restriction. After my first 2 fills, i was feeling hungry all the time and could eat a lot but after my 3rd fill which totals up to 3.7cc i have very good restriction and am not feeling hungry at all (even during the 2 days after the fill which i only take liquids). All the best in you're weight loss journey. Caroline

It usually takes several fills to get enough restriction to not be hungry.

I am 3 months out and it has taken me 3 fills to get to a place where I feel full sometimes. I have a 14cc band and it is now 7cc full I am having another fill of 1 cc on the 20th as I want to feel full after every little meal, not just some of them.
