Hi Becky, I wouldnt worry about it. I think at first I felt great, lost some weight and had good restriction. THen, the swelling in my stomach went down, and I had absolutely no restriction what so ever. I just had a fill for the first time, and sometimes meat or chicken will make me "feel the band". Ive been told you may need to have a few fills before you reach where you want to be. So, if you get over the restriction you have now, dont worry, its normal. Good luck to you.
