Is this normal???

One month ago I had my first fill (4cc's in a 14cc band). The first week I felt like I had pretty good restriction. After that I have been able to eat more and more and I am hungry again a couple of hours after I eat. I have also pretty well been able to tolerated eating anything. I was reading on another thread about delayed restriction and that it was normal, but I am the opposite. I am having another fill on Friday. Just wondering if I should expect the same, hoping to find my "sweet spot".

It takes time & everyone is soooooo different. I know people who get a fill, have 2-3 great weeks of weight loss and their restriction is gone. I've not had a fill at all and lost 75 and actually feel too tight. Don't get caught up on the # of cc's people have in their band, because every person's stomach shape & size is different and where one person may be very tight at 1 cc, the next person may need 9. My doctor has always said if you are feeling hungry for 2 weeks and not lost anything, it's time.

I had my first fill July 15th and havent lost a single pound! I am always hungry and can eat just about anything right now. I am not scheduled to go back until Aug 12th I wonder if I should call and see if I can get in sooner? What do you think?

Hello there !

I had surgery on Nov 5 - 2007. I have had two fills. Just had my second last Friday. I restricted me to 7CC . My Band will max at 10CC. I was maintaining my weight for about six weeks. Make sure you eat all your calories. I'm at 1200 a day. Also workout. You will lose.

My first fill was exactly like yours, but my second was a doozy. I went from no restriction to perfect restriction. It is all a matter of luck and timing. I also requested very aggressive fills and luckily my doctor obliged :0)

I would definitely call. There is no reason to wait if you don't feel anything and if they will see you a smidge before the expected date.
