Hello, do not worry, I have been banded for about 1.5 years now and I do remember that you will not have a restriction until you go back to the doctor and have your fill.Do not fill bad....it is time for you to heal now and not to loose weight.....it will all happen after the doctor will fill the band.Remeber to tell the doctor to put some numbing solution before you do the fill......so you do not fill the pain of the niddle.
