Hello,

I am taking a mini poll. So, please answer!!! How many fills, and please include ccs if you can, before you starting feeling restriction?

I was banded on 5/19/11 and had my first fill 6/20/11. I have not felt any restriction. For the first this morning I had a piece of toast. Was still hungry about an hour later and had another. I am feeling pretty full. I guess a lot of people feel more restriction in the a.m., which is fine, but my problem eating times are typically later in the day. I am hoping to guage how long it will be before I start losing. I have told a few people about the surgery so of course they keep asking me how it is going and I have pretty much stalled as far as weight loss because I can eat anything and I am not sticking to a plan. I am still very optimistic that I will lose weight, I am just really anxious for restriction. Thanks for listening!

I was banded April Fools Day this year. I didn't start to feel any restriction until the 4th fill last week. I have a large band (14cc) and now have 7cc. I saw a similar poll for smaller bands and saw the "sweet spot" was not reached until half your band is full. I think I may be there.
