any fullness...I stop cuz I know I have to...is this norm,,?
My surgeon put very little Fluid in my band at surgery to give my stomach time to heal and for me to sort of adjust. I didn't feel any restriction from my band until after my 3rd or 4th band fill. It will take a few tries for you to see how much Fluid is the perfect amount for you. I had surgery Oct 2011 and still am trying to find the right amount. Still feel like I need a little more in there but I had too much in once for 4 days and was miserable. I had to go back and have some removed and have since had a little more put back in. It really is trial and error and doing what you know you should be doing in the mean time. Good Luck!
