mozart & einstein 0 Posted June 11, 2011 I had my surgery back in Feb, and have had 2 fills with zero weight loss and no feeling of restriction. I am starting to feel that maybe it's not working for me.. So depressed. Then I read your post and it gives me hope, I have a third fill scheduled for the middle of July, hopefully it will be the fill that works wonders for me as well. Thank you for your post! it feels good to finally have restricton.i am also getting full by eating less then a full cup.....i had fill 2 days ago and already lost 5lbs....for those who dont have restricton yet....be patient it will come..keep up the good work,you can do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mominoc 11 Posted June 12, 2011 Congratulations! I'm right there with you. Finally with 2nd fill have true restriction. 7ccs. Go to Dr. June 16th and don't think I need a third at least right now. Lost 60 so far. Feb 7th surgery 2011. True restriction finally means knowing what everyone has been talking about! Now tiny bites, chewing well and eating very slowly. It does work!

mominoc 11 Posted June 21, 2011 I had a third fill which made 7ccs in my band. For a long time I had great restriction, but now it seems like I can eat more different foods. I'm thinking the 20 pounds I lost after the 3rd fill may have caused my band to be less tight. I'm having to watch what I eat now to not gain until I can have a 4th fill in July. It was perfect restriction.....phooey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
