Not enough restriction?

ecbailey · May 21, 2005

Hello everyone, I had a fill 3 weeks ago. I have lost 2 lbs. I have been walking and eating less; However, I NEVER feel full. I stop eating but could eat again in less than 2 hours...hungry not emotion eating ...I am wondering if I should go back and get adjusted? Any suggestions? Eliza

Hey Eliza!!!!

Sounds like it's a yes, get another fill. I'm anxious for other answers, but just a little bit extra could make a huge difference.

Since you're 3 weeks out from your fill, I think it's safe to schedule another one. Alot of people say that their fills don't kick in for 1-2 weeks after their fill. Since you're past that, there's no chance this fill will kick in.

This fill was just not enough. First fills usually are.

Here is a great site to help you with deciding to get another fill or not, when I felt that I needed a fill I went to this page and read it over and over again to make sure I really needed an adjustment in my fill or an adjustment in my attitude,

hope this is helpful

Sometimes it was just an attitude adjustment

Thank you. You are right that website is a great resoure. I called my Dr. and they said that I did need to come in and have my fill adjusted. Apparently, the first fill is to "test " my eating habits and to make sure everything is working properly befor they give me a tighter fill. So three weeks later I am off to TN a 6 hour drive...for a 30 minute apt.! Ughhhh! Eliza
