Hi I thought i would post my concerns and ask the experts...

I am just worried how i would know if my band had slipped, i am 5 weeks post op, and there has been times when i have eaten the wrong food and

i have had that stuck sensation, although i have not need to be sick or anything, it has just mde its own way down.

Now i have no restriction as can eat more or less the same amount befire the band was fitted, am constantly hungry and worried i have made my band slip.

I am so worried.... Pls give me your views...X

Hi Debbie, the stuck sensation you are feeling is most likely restriction and swelling from the surgery. The reason why you have no restriction and am hungry is because the band technically isn't working it. It doesn't give you loss of hunger and good restriction until you start getting fills. That is typically at 6 weeks. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few fills and a few months to reach optimal restriction. You will know you are there when your hunger subsides and you are still losing and eating less. Good luck to you.
