Has anyone had this happend to them? I actually called the Dr. to make and appointment after 2 weeks and no feeling of restriction. Today is day #20 and I have just feeling some good restriction. :unsure: I am THRILLED, but wondering if there are others who have had this happen to them??

Please comment and many thanks!!

This always happens to me. I don't get to my level of restriction from a fill until about 3 weeks after my appointment. It doesn't seem to tighten up right away. Inexplicable I know, but now that it's become a pattern, I don't even think about getting another fill until about 4 weeks after my last one. I just had a little taken out after 3 weeks because I ended up with just a hair too much.

So, yes you are not alone!

Oh yes I got a fill on 12-28-09 and started feeling the restriction 2 weeks later and actually had to go get an unfill because it was to tight.

Well, I am 1 year, 3 months post op. I have always felt restriction after my fills. Last week during my check up the surgeon put .5 cc in. After that I feel NOTHNG! I feel like i dont even have the band. I tested it by trying things that I have never been able to get down, like french fries. I have no problem with these things. Don't get me wrong, I am not eating everything in sight. I just wanted to test it out. I am going tomorrow to get more put in. I was worried about the band slipping or a hole in it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
