Everybody is different. It's quite possible. How many cc's do you have?

I just recently experienced my band getting tighter more than a week after my fill...i usually can feel my restriction the next day after a fill....but this last fill (my 5th) was different...i was feeling very little restriction for a few days....i even made an appointment to get another one....then bam!!!! it hit me!!!!!!! i called and cancelled my fill...i have the restriction i like...but it did take about a week to feel it this time...i would wait a few days if i were u....if i would've got another fill...i would've been over filled.....

Hi all, I just got my 4th fill yesterday. I had to get an unfill last time (long story), and then I didn't feel restriction, but about a week or two into the unfill, it started getting tighter. It always seems to be about a week or 5 days before my menstral cycle, so I asked the doctor. He said the band will tighten before and during your menstral cycle. I've heard others mention this also, so I wanted to ask the Dr. and he confirmed it to be true. Maybe that is what is going on with you gals??

I now have 6 cc's in and I feel more restricted than ever. I get full pretty fast and I really had to learn to slow down otherwise if I eat too fast then bam it will hit me and I feel very uncomfortable for a few minutes before it starts to go down more. It's nice to finally get some restriction. Thankfully I haven't had any PB incidents.
