How Long Does Restriction Usually Last?



Recommended Posts

My last fill (I believe my 4th fill since surgery) REALLY felt the restriction. Felt full with like 2 bites of food! Lost 9 lbs that month. Now almost 2 months after It takes more food to feel full : / my question is, how long does restriction last?? Is it time for another fill? I lost My insurance 2 days after my last fill so the next one will be out of pocket : /

My fills usually lasted about 3 or 4 weeks, hence I was getting fills once a month for about 6 months. Then at 9 mos. my fill lasted and lasted so I haven't gotten a fill for the last 3 months. But realize everyone is VERY different. This has just been my experience.

My fills lasted around 2 months but that was because they normally only kicked in 2 or 3 weeks afterwards .. everyone is different ofc so u need to just get used to the way u are and your body and band !

This is what happened to me. I had good restriction with my fourth fill and now (6 wks since last fill) I am starving. I would say its time for another fill.. I'm hoping I get restriction again with the next fill..

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
