Fill Question Help !!

[sparkling 0]

Heya all..been mad busy so haven't been online much. Has a ? I hope all of you can shed some light and some support. Going for my second fill this Friday. I was banded in March. I felt no restriction no nothing with this fill. I've read that this is normal. When does restriction usually kick in?? I'm a lil depressed I've lost 27lbs before the first fill and maybe like 4 pounds since this first fill. By all means I'm happy about this loss. I'm sticking to the diet just was curious to when I will actually feel full. I never get this feeling. Is this normal ?? hehe :help: :help: :help:

Yes, totally normal. Keep getting those fills until you have some restriction. You have lost those pounds because of dieting. You haven't used the band as a tool because you don't have restriction. For some, it takes 2-3 fills to get proper restriction. And your surgeon may be on the conservative side with the fills (which can be a good thing)... Just keep getting fills until you are restricted, then it will be a different ballgame... Hang in there! You are doing a GREAT job!!!

I was on the aggresive side requesting restriction.

I got it. We did not sneak up to it.

There are good and bad things that can be said about that.

I am loosing because I am dieting and exercising. But I know my band is there to help me stay within my limits and on track.

I have a 10cc band, and am not interested in playing the .5cc until we find some restriction... I have 3cc's now, and think that it can be too much sometimes. But I am working with it, and learning the lessons I need to learn.

Hang in there. Getting the restriction is frustrating, and while I decided to take the fast track to it, I am still glad I did.
