No restriction after fill?

[Guest j. lynn]

Each person is different. I had restriction right away from surgery with just the band -- no need for a fill until 3.5 months out. Then I got a 1 CC fill at that time. Wasn't enough. I just got another 1 CC fill (2 CC total). I am still on liquids, so not sure if it will be enough.

I've known people who have lost 100 pounds and haven't needed a fill. Some people need 3 CCs to start losing weight. Some have losts tons on .5 CC. Everyone is totally different, but it usually takes 3-5 fills to get good restriction.

Hang in there!

Don't you love these medical types who dismiss this sort of thing? I know a band surgeon who is also banded who doesn't "believe" in the kick in...guess he's never read the boards where it happens all the darn time! It's happened to me every one of my 5 fills...

My radioligist said the restriction should not change in a week or two. I told him that I have heard MANY people say that there level of restriction was more intense after a couple of weeks.
