Less restriction than before the fill



Recommended Posts

I just had my 9th fill yesterday. I had some restriction but thought it wasn't enough because I was not losing much. So, I had the fill. Now I have less restriction than I had before. Actually, I don't have any restriction feeling at all. I am scared that something is wrong like a leak or I have stretched my pouch. But since I had some restriction before the fill I don't think it could be stretched. Help! Has anyone had this happen to them?

I never have any restriction after a fill. For some reason it usually takes my body about 3 weeks to feel the fill. I think what my doc is doing is removing all the Fluid at the time of the fill and then puts it all back it with a little more. My last fill was on 3/3 and I couldn't even tell I had the band until 3/20. No I think I'm way too tight.

i have the exact same problem right now. i cant wait to see the responses you get.

nessa- my doc does the same thing in regards to pulling out the Fluid in the band before adding the new amount. is that to make sure its all there? funny thing, i have never thought to ask him.

I go to the doc tomorrow. I will let you know what the results are. The nurse practitioner to draw all of the Fluid out and then put it and more back in.

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