Miss Feary

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I feel much better now after reading this

Hello!! New here!! I am looking for answers, so I hope someone can help me. I have had 3 fills. Fill #1 was great, I felt restriction the first time around. It lasted for a week and then the restriction went away. So I had another fill. Fill # 2 was even better, more restriction, but it only lasted 9 days. So I had another fill. Fill # 3, I was sure would be my green zone fill at 6 cc's in my 10 cc band. The restriction was even greater and I had 100% signs of being in my green zone according to the chart above. BUT.... 2 WEEKS to the day after my fill, my restriction went away!! I am not restricted at all again. Why is this happening? I am worried my band is leaking. I know restriction can vary day to day or hour to hour... but it has been 2 days now, and I dont think my restriction will be coming back. I dont see my doc for another week. This mystery is driving me crazy and I have been doing so great. I dont want to fall off track and lose control of my portions. Is this normal for my restriction to subside like this. I thought your fills last longer than a week or two. - Amber

Anyone have fills that DONT LAST. For expample... 1 st fill I had restriction, but only lasted a week, then I was able to eat like a "normal person" ( even though I didnt.. but I could have). Then the 2ed fill I had 2 weeks later, I felt even more restriction, but it went away after 9 days. Now at my 3rd fill (2weeks later). I had all signs of being in my green zone!!! Yay!!... BUT.... after 2 weeks to the day , post fill, my restriction sub-sided again!!!! WTH? why do my fills only last a week or 2? I have 6 cc's in my 10 cc band. I know I have to tweak it a few times, but I thought restriction should last more than a week or 2. Any ideas or anyone have this same prob. I have an apointment on Monday. I asked for a barium swallow to see if there are any issues just to make sure... otherwise.. this roller coaster of restrictions is driving me crazy!!

Thank you for the replies!! I am glad I am not the only one! In repsonse to 2muchfun. I am eating the right foods according to my road map my doctors office gave me. I am serious about this journey, and am the type of person to always give 100% to what ever it is that I am trying to achive. So no cheating on my part. Even 10 weeks post op, I still do not even drink anything with sugar. I am sticking to my shakes, high protiens, steamed veggies etc. I have noticed when I am at my highest restriction ( when I am restricted) even slider foods wont go down (like pudding or jello). Who knows. LOL. I see my doc on Monday. I hope she can shine some light on this roller coaster I am on. I asked for a barium swallow. So I hope that will show whats going on. I have heard of " phyco" bands that are up and down up and down. I am sure everything will be fine... I'm just a little frustrated.
