After my first fiil i had no restriction, after my second fill i had it. My doctor had me come back after my first fill in 2 weeks. I know some doctors wait longer. If thats the case just call your doc and make another appointment.

Salam, don't panick. Most people do not get proper restriction after just one fill. For many, it takes 2-3 fills before they reach their sweet spot. Also, although no one has been really able to explain why, sometimes it takes up to a week for a fill to kick in, I have had that happen before.

How long does your doctor make you wait between fills?

Well, he told me to wait one month, i called him back he told me after 3 weeks from 1st fill he'll do me another fill again, but i can eat everything, i'm afraid to gain more weight !!!

I was banded 4/07 and had my first fill on 5/17. I am more restricted this week than last week. I can't have any solids and I am even having trouble with liquids. I think I may need an unfill. They filled 2.2ccs. Anybody know if this is too much? I don't feel too well. Never hungry and getting my medication in is a real problem. It takes over an hour to drink a Protein Shake.< /p>

I also had no restriction with my first fill. When I went in for my second, the PA said that was normal. After the second, I can definately feel restriction. I have to be careful to eat slowly and chew well or food will get stuck.

Same thing happened to me. Banded 4/1, first fill 5/1 2cc. Than 3 wks later they put in another cc. So, I'm at 3 in a 4cc band. Can't eat much at all, even soft stuff. Think we may be over filled. Sure hurts when I try to eat.

I know what you mean. I had my 2nd fill on May 7 of 2cc and still eat pretty good. I was told it could take a couple fills, I have a large band.

Don't worry about the number of CC's he gave you..My dr told me that's just a number. You might have a big band like I got. If you are not having restrictions then call your dr and tell him/her that you want more. It won't hurt you to get more. At least that's what I am told.
