Am I eating around my band??

[Guest guest]

Ok I have a question.. I was banded in Febuary and I have lost 80

pounds wich is great.... I have had trouble with fills though. My

first fill was 5 ccs and then i got up to 7.3 on my next fill.... ok i

went back for another one later and she pulled all of it out and said

i had about 8.2 ccs in my pouch.. how i dont know but that is what she

said anyway she fille dme on up to 9 ccs and that is suppossed to be

the max my band will hold..... well guess what. I can eat like no

bodys business. I called Gabby and she said if I had the max in my

band I should not be able to swallow my spit. Well I can swallow more

than that let me tell ya.

My question i guess is am i doing something wrong... I am hungry in

the morning and alot of you say your not. I can eat when ever i want.

Evry once in a blu moon sometimes i get a stuck feeling and i stop

eating cause it hurts like Hell. That is the only time i feel really

restricted.

this is how my meal goes kinda.... I eat a little and i feel i guess a

little pain in my chest like i may be getting stuck so i stop and wait

a few minutes and then it all goes away and i can eat then till i am

full. Now i dotn eat nowhere near how i used to eat but it is more

than i htink i should be eating wiht 9ccs in my band.

Do any of you seasoned vets have any advice for me.. My weight loss

has all but stopped and i am very frustrated because i have only been

banded 5 months and i guess my band is full and now i feel like my

journey is over. I still weigh 260 and I am not wanting to settle for

that. Sometimes I wonder if she is missing my port or something or

Maybe I have a leek or something is going on. Or it may just be plan

old that I am miss using the band.

Good lord I hope somebody can read through the mumbo jumbo and see

what i am talking about
