to fill or not to fill, that is the question...

Okay, I'm not sure if I should get another fill or not. I'm at 1.5 in a 4cc band. I have some good restriction, but lately I notice, espeically being home this week, that I'm able and wanting to eat more than I was a few weeks ago.

I don't have any illusions that a fill will help me lose weight, I'm mostly okay with it. Well, that's a lie, but we will go with it anyway.

Should I get a fill for the psychological need or should I just not bother, since it won't affect my weight one way or the other.

Then I would suggest not getting it. I also have a 4 cc and am at 1.5 cc with pretty good restriction at this time. I don't know how true this statement is but my friends doctor told her that he won't go beyond 3cc's in her 4 cc band because the tighter you are there's more chance of errosion. So if you don't need it and you can get away with less fills, I think your better off. JMHO.

Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

HUGS !!

Okay, I am SOOOO glad I took your advice and didn't get a fill.

I almost NEVER PB, but several times this week I've tossed my proverbial cookies. Today, I PB'd on some very expensive brie.

Looks like top ramman/egg drop soup for dinner tonight. Again.

Expensive brie? You poor thing. Why is it that when a PB happens it has to be something like that? I LOVE brie!!! Did you at least enjoy the chewing? I sure hope so :)
