What kind of restriction after 1st fil?

I had my first fill (3.5 cc's) this past Monday, 6/6. 5 days later, I have lost 5 lbs....definitely feel restriction.

Scheduled for another adjustment on 7/11. I'm psyched! That 6 week wait for a fill was super frustrating!

Anyway, after my botched first surgery in Mexico, it is soooo satisfying to actually have a band that works!

I had my first fill on Thursday and I feel a little bit more restriction, but not a whole lot. I, too, expected that based on the information I got on this forum.

I'm with you, NJGIRL (and I'm a JRZ GRL too)!! I WANT to feel something to assure me that the band is working. I was also wondering if anyone pushed their dr. to be more aggressive with fills. I don't hold out hope with my dr...he lectured me at my last appointment about not relying on the band to do all the work...which I totally do NOT understand because I wouldn't have had major surgery if I was able to control my eating on my own!

I have lost another 3 lbs. since the fill, so that's something. But of course, I was on liquids for 24 hours afterwards so I think that had a lot to do with it. Now it's Saturday and I'm getting hungrier!!

I was banded jan 18, 2011 I had my first fill feb 20th, 2011 my doctor gave me 4cc's and I could still eat everything. I had fill number 2 on May 11th, and can still eat everything but not as much. I am now at 6.5cc's after 2 fills. I have another scheduled for July 20th. I am hoping that just a little more will give me the restriction I need to move onward. I watch what I put in my mouth, but it is a struggle everyday.
