fatgirlinNY 0 Posted June 23, 2009 why does the effectiveness of a fill wear off after just a little while? I had my 3rd fill one week ago tomorrow, I had great restriction for the first time and was feeling excited but over the last couple of days I find myself being able to eat more what gives?

lotzasunshine 2 Posted June 23, 2009 As you lose fat around your stomach your band will get more loose. Or, you could have had a bit of swelling from your fill and it went down after a bit. That is why most people keep needing fills along the journey. Unfortunate, but necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted June 23, 2009 why does the effectiveness of a fill wear off after just a little while? I had my 3rd fill one week ago tomorrow, I had great restriction for the first time and was feeling excited but over the last couple of days I find myself being able to eat more what gives? Right after a fill, most people have swelling and irritation. That's why most docs advise liquids for the first day after a fill, then mushies, then back to real food. However, as the swelling goes down, so does some of the restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
