I'm not sure why you don't feel full after a fill.I know when I get a fill the Dr. says stay on liquids for 48 hrs. after wards.I just found this web site today.It has all kinds of great advice on it.GOD Bless,keep up the great loss.

Hey everyone,

I was banded on Oct 23rd and down 40lbs also, I'm going for my 2nd fill this Thurs. I had great restriction with my first fill, I'm hoping for my this time around. I hear when you get your second fill your wt loss increases alittle more, I'm so excited about it all.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
