Hi there! I was banded on 12-3-09 with a 5cc band. It was a tight fit right from the start. I have had some restriction since then. I just had my first fill (1.4cc) and I feel quite tight. I really don't do fantastically until the evening. I was able to have like a teeny tiny piece of fish (prob the equivalent of a big bite) for lunch today and had about 1/4 c food for dinner. I told my surgeon this and he said this is excellent restriction. He said the tightness will eventually go away and then I will just feel full instead of highly uncomfortable.(he is also banded) It doesn't hurt, but it is very unpleasant. I get that yucky slobbery thing, but do not get sick. Is this about the norm??

Sounds a little tight, but if you can get in your nutrients and plenty of Water you may be okay. When you lose some more weight, your band will probably lossen up some. Mine does. If you lose a few more pounds and it lossens you will be at the right spot. I do not know what that magic number of lost poundage would be. I'm positive that it would be different for everyone.

If it does not loosen any and you are miserable, then go get a little taken out.
