Less restriction after a fill?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I went for my second fill this past Friday and I'm experiencing a curious (and unwelcome) phenomenon. I have less restriction after the fill. :D

Has this ever happened to anyone?

After my very first fill I didn't have a lot of restriction but I had some. When I went on Friday, my doctor complimented me for losing 4lbs in 4 weeks. I told her I was disappointed but she told that that was the right amount and that I was doing good. She asked me if I still wanted a fill and I said yes (though I really wanted to say, "hell yes!" :) ).

I went home, stayed on liquids for one day and mushy the next. But now that I can eat regular food I find that I have less restriction that I had before the fill. The doctor told me that I went from a 4.5 fill (I think) to a 7.5. But I'm starting to wonder if she didn't take something out instead of putting it in by mistake. Any chance?

Funny you say that.....I had my first fill last Monday. I didn't have anything in my band and had lost 4 lbs in the 2 weeks from the previous appointment. I assumed that I was automatically going to get my fill; however, the Dr. was hesitant to give it to me. I suspect when he saw how disappointed I looked, he said, "Well, we can give you a small fill!" I feel like since he gave me a "small fill" (amount unknown), I have been more hungry!? I can't figure it out!? SO strange!!!!
