It doesn't seem like he uses weight loss as the only guide - if I can eat more than a cup and get hungry before 3 to 4 hours he seems willing to give a fill.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436279543582122546.post-32959206888841500242010-10-07T08:20:34.276-07:002010-10-07T08:20:34.276-07:00It is hard to say what you should do.

I told him that the last week I have been getting hungry after 2 hours, so he said it was time for a fill. He only gave me .7cc because I asked him to be conservative with my fills. I am very lucky in that I can eat pretty much anything with my band, fill or no fill. I have lost 40lbs in 4 months and I am very happy with that. I now have 3.5cc in my 11cc band. The whole thing about the band is to not feel hungry all the time. When filled properly, it works as an appetite suppressant. I say lie, cheat and steal to get your fill!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
