Need Advice On Fills

[pink dahlia 2,513]

I was banded last December, had my 3rd fill feb 27th and hit the green zone for about a 12 days, then it went backwards to mild restriction. I went in for my 4th fill end of March and the tech said that was'nt uncommon. Nothing has changed since that last fill, still just mild restriction. My 5th fill is next week, does anybody have any advice to make this work ? My insurance only covers the 1st 6 fills so im trying to use them wisely before i have to start paying for them myself . ANY ADVICE ????

It isnt the amount of fills its the fill itself that matters, how much Fluid is in your band now? what size band do u have? Are u losing a lot of weight ? weight loss causes the band to slacken a little too, i have the opposite problem i feel nothing after a fill for around 2 weeks then it tightens .. we are all different .. if u are getting close to the maximum fill level for your band u may want to get them to check for leaks .. its a remote possibility but can happen ..

Defenitly a fickle band,,, it acts different every time. I get a fill- nothing- then bamb restriction, get another fill- feel like a chocked goose and then slacks off,,, this last fill,,, so so,, only been 3 days, but can eat ok... weird huh?
