Okay I hate to complain so soon, but has been so long since I've had a fill I have forgotten what's next! I was filled 2.2cc (bAND SIZE 11) on 10/8/10 (almost 3 weeks ago). I was totally empty. But for the last couple of days, I have felt no restriction. However, I am not able to eat an entire meal. Should I feel this way this soon after my fill? Is there something wrong or does it sound like I just need another fill? Please suggest something! I use fill centers USA and will have to drive another 2 hours to get a fill, but I need to know should I schedule?

Does anyone know/have exp. with SEIU Healthcare Ins. of IL and coverage of cosmetic surgery?

I am also interested in knowing what caused this and how long had it been eroded?

Thanks for the reminder, because I hadn't been for a fill. I am hoping that is simply all I need. Thanks again!

So sorry to hear this!

Thanks for your post, I was also banded 5 years ago and it was not until recently that I have been able to eat, eat, eat! I have not had a fill in over a year and I think that it is about that time. It is just great to hear from those that have been banded some time and are still banded, thanks.

I've had my band for 5 years and have had great success (100lb+ loss), however I am now able to eat anything since I have not had a fill in 2 years, and have begin gaining weight. I have a filled scheduled through fill centers on 10/8 and initially thought that a fill was all I needed. I have been reading the slip board post and have begin to wonder. My port and band feels like it's in the same place, I don't throw up and have no soreness. I regret going to the slip forum. Has anyone else felt this way?:smile2::confused:

You are absolutely correct! I wish the date was just a lot sooner than next month! But I am so ready!
