Question:
Weight loss before fill

I'm 6 weeks out from a lap-band procedure. I will have my first fill in 3 weeks. I have lost a total of 16 pounds since surgery and have gained 1 pound last week and 1 pound this week. I am also having a lot of hunger. Is all of this normal pre-fill?    — petnurse98 (posted on July 30, 2009)

It's not surprising. Until you get to that sweet spot you are going to be "dieting" just like before your surgery. You have to have that restriction first. Some people take 3-4 fills before they have restriction. I'm just 2 weeks out from my first fill. I don't really feel like I have restriction either. I can still eat quite a bit if I wanted to. I have to be really careful on the amount of food you put in my mouth. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.
