I was just wondering if anyone has ever been really resticted at night and not so much during the day i have always heard that people usually have restricton in the morning. It seems that i have a real hard time keeping anything down at night i pb i couldn't even keep a pudding down yesterday. I go back to the dr on tuesday and am planning on having another fill becasse i can eat all day long.

I just posted friday abut how restrictied i am i have 1cc . I felt really tight now i can eat more and am getting hungary about 2 hrs after i eat i was just wonering what i should do. Thanks,

I have 1cc right now. I have decent restriction but i still eat more than i need to how much do you eat? I get hungary about every two hrs.

I was filled on 4/7/04 at first i had really good restriction. I go back to the doc on 4/20/04 for a check up and a fill that is almost two weeks do you think that is long enough?

I am so sorry to hear about that. I just had my leak fixed luckly it was down at the port. So hang in there it is well worth it.

Just wanted to let everyone know my leak is fixed and i have really good restrition. So i hope this last for a while.

Hi everyone i went for my fourth fill friday i have posted two diffrent post about not having restriction well there is a reason my doc things i have a leak i go friday to see. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen ,at least i know what the promblem is now. Thanks

Thanks for all your encouraging words i really need that. I read all the postings everyday that's a lot of my support. Good luck

Congrulations on your weight loss and not having to be filled. I myself had surgery on 12/29/03 with Dr Oldham and on 3/19/04 i will be going in for my 4th fill so you are very lucky person. Its kind on neat that we both had the same surgery at the same place good luck with your journay. I have only lost 16Lbs but its because i haven't been totally doing what i am suppose to. I keep waiting for the fills to do everthing. Sorry to keep going on and on. Patty

Alright i am beginning to wonder about this surgery fill #3 and not much restriction i am totally stressed about this only down 15 lbs.Should i worry.

Congrulations on your weight lost. I also was banded on 12/29/03 and have only lost 15 lbs i know a lot of the reason that i'm not losing weight is because i keep waiting for the fill to work so i have been eating what i want. But i have 3 fills and still not a lot of restriction i was just wondering how much you could eat

Good luck with your fill. I think your doing a good job i haven't exerise in a while and i really haven't been watching what i eat I keep telling myself that when i have more restriction i will do better. Hang in there. I know it's hard but i think it will work.

Hi i had the lap band surgery on 12/29 and had my first fill on 2/6 and my second on 2/20 and still have no restriction i have heard from others that this is normal any advice would be appreciated.

I know how you feel its hard not to be depressed. I to can't eat like i use to but i can still eat pretty good. I also struggle to keep the weight off. I go back 3/5 for another fill hope this works. I do have a question why will it be April before you get another fill? I hope the next one works keep in touch good luck.

know he does it by sense on touch.

I am really not sure what he uses. I have notice i do get a little fuller than i use to i had never heard that it could take a week or so before its tight. I had planned on going back the 3/5/04 for another fill. Maybe i should wait.
