I was banded Feb. 23rd, 2010. I am going in for my 3rd fill this next Monday and I have not experienced restriction yet. I have lost 10 pounds (when I was on liquids after my surgery) but have gained a couple of pounds back. I am frustrated because I thought restriction would come earlier than 3rd or 4th fill. Anyway, how long does restriction last once a person gets there? Thanks so much for any input.
