Can it really be gone already??



Recommended Posts

My 2nd fill on June 28 had been doing me great. Good restriction, got my gurgles on. Now just three days ago; seems my restriction is just 'gone'. I mean, not like without the band...but definately less! I am wondering if this is the 'settling in' of the fill that I hear of?

This stinks.

This is very common. It took me 5 fills to finally feel good restriction. Just go back and and keep going until you hit your sweet spot.

I was afraid you were going to say that. ;-)

I have been having the same problem and my doctor has mentioned the dreaded word "leak." If I have to keep going back for more fills I'll be willing to do that. But if there is a leak that involves more surgery I'll be less than pleased.

If that turns out to be the case (I dont' think it is, I'm only on fill #2)...I'd consider something else other than the band. I will only fail at something once.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
