Possibly gallstones??? I am not a Dr. but I have heard that people who have lost a substantial amount of weight have problems with gallstones. I would check with your Dr if the pain continues so it doesnt turn into something more serious. Hope you feel better.

lol. I agree with both of you. I have used my band as a tool at times and at other times I have blamed lack of fill for my weight gain. Somehow I was sure it wasn't the cheezies or icecream. As with all things it is balance. Thanks for the thought provoking posts!

If we could do this on our own, we wouldnt need the band in the first place. The point of the band was to help remind me when to stop. If there is no restriction then what is the point?

I had my first fill on 6/24 - but no restriction. It was recommended to wait 5-6 weeks before another fill - but I don't really know why. Anybody out there in bandland know if I can go ahead and get another fill now? Thanks for all the great info!! Barbara

Hi Caliband, I had my first fill june 11. I had 4.6cc and no restriction either. I have read that alot of people on here done feel any restriction until the second fill. So I am trying to be patient. I scheduled myself for a second fill at the OCC four weeks from my first fill. I will be there July would call and see if you can come sooner. Good luck! 13. I
