Hotstuff 16 Posted November 22, 2012 Just got banded yesterday. Feeling pretty good. Is there any restriction with the band after surgery, or with your first fill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rrobichaud2 9 Posted November 22, 2012 Some of the doctors fill at the time of surgery too so that helps I had 3cc put in my band at surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyMaggie 145 Posted November 22, 2012 Most all surgeons put some in your band to "prime" it. . . you should ask your surgeon; but for me it has taken several fills and 6 months to get near the green zone. ~ good luck ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted November 23, 2012 Took me over 6 months to get restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wgbem 138 Posted November 23, 2012 When I first had surgery I felt some restriction then after a few days nothing. I am on my 3rd fill after my September surgery but I am feeling like I am getting to that green zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovely29 19 Posted November 23, 2012 What restrictions are you guys discussing I am a bit confused and what's a green zone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted November 23, 2012 "Restriction" usually refers to feeling satisfied on 3 oz solid Protein and some veggies/fruit and being able to go 4-5 hrs before feeling hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
