Delayed Restriction?



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I had my second fill approx 2 weeks ago. I am now at 6cc's in an 11cc band. Just wondering if it's normal for restriction to set in 2 weeks after a fill? I found with my first fill, I had restriction fairly soon after, but this time, it's almost like a delayed reaction. Is this normal?

I'm not complaining! I actually know what it feels like now for the first time and getting full on a cup of food or less is a learning curve to say the least :)

Thanks!

Lisa

I have heard lots of people say that this happens to them so yes it is normal. Not sure how this works , just another one of those weird band things.

I usually feel the most retriction 3-5 days after my fill. Then it takes me like a week to figure out how to eat so I don't get stuck, slime or pb.

This happened to me as well. Had my fill on 4/1 but didn't fee restriction until the 16th or so...and I wasn't expecting the delay so I was in pain a couple of times from eating too fast but then realized the reason. I wonder why this happens?

Very normal. My doctor won't give an additional fill for at least 2 weeks because the effect can be delayed.

Thanks everyone for your responses.. I'm glad I finally have some restriction although it has been a learning process with the chewing and hoping things won't get stuck. This band is like meeting a few friend and learning about their quirks.
