Your surgeon can help. You need to call him/her and let them know that despite your current fill, you are still not feeling restriction.

what could have gone wrong:scared:

Another question for your surgeon. Virtually impossible for me to sit here, read one sentence about what's wrong, and be able to have any clue what's going on.

Possibilities? Pulling directly from my butt:

• Your band isn't really full, but you think it is - maybe you've misunderstood how much was put in or how much it holds.
  
• You have restriction, but are confusing it for something else, so it seems like you don't.
  
• Your band is misplaced.
  
• Whomever did your fill missed the port and shot saline into your abdomen, leaving you with an empty band.
  
• Your band has a leak.
  
• You're eating foods that won't cause a sense of satiation.
  
• Your band at capacity isn't enough to cause restriction so you need surpluss fill.
  
• Your fill needs time to kick in.
  
• Etc., etc., etc.

Don't necessarily think that something is "wrong." Just think that you don't have restriction yet, and seek the help you need from your surgeon.

I am having some similar problems. I've had 4 fills. When I went for my last one the RN had to POKE me twice as the first time she didn't hit my port.

She does a slight withdrawl, then plungers the amout of saline back in plus the slight bit that she withdrew. Because she didn't hit my port it kinda hurt a little.. I knew right away cause all my other fills were completely painfree.

SO she takes a second stab, hits my port (she says) but now I have LESS restriction than before my 4th fill???? What's up with that?

Do you think she might have 'nicked' my port tube on poke number 1???

I am booked for another fill Nov 27th. Currently I am supposed to be at 8.25cc's in a 10 cc band.
