question about restriction

mommytoethan · June 28, 2008

hello,

i had surgery on april 8th. i just went in for my third fill this past wednesday. i STILL do not have alot of restriction!! i can drink an entire glass of Water with no problems. i can still eat more than a few ounces at a time. i'm concerned that i'm not feeling restriction like a should. i made an appt to get a 4th fill on july 8 (that's the soonest they could get me in). to date, i've only lost about 20 lbs. :tt2:

please tell me i'm not the only one who has had this problem. when did you start feeling really good restriction? i'm in another group and alot of the people said that they felt restriction by the 3rd fill.

I am in the same boat as you. I have had 2 fills and I have no restriction. I have been trying to keep my portions small and exercising 5 days a week. That is the only reason I have lost 78 lbs. I want to feel a sense of fullness. My insurance co. will only pay for 2 more fills and then I have to pay out of pocket. I can not afford $950 each fill. I pray that I reach my sweet spot with the next fill. I will schedule another one when I get back from my vacation. Good luck with your next fill.

i just went to have my 2nd fill yesterday. i got the warning to start with liquids and then blended, just as before. what am i supposed to feel? after my 1st fill, i had no difficulty with any food. i felt no difference this time either. i feel confused. am i doing something wrong?

thanks
