The best thing to do is contact your doctor and let him know that you are still not feeling much restriction and work with him on it. The thing to remember is that for many people, it takes two, three, four or more fills before they reach proper restriction. Personally, I feel it is better to approach fills conservatively in order to avoid getting too tight, which can be miserable.

I agree with Susan. Call your Doc and schedule another appt as soon as he can get you in explaining that the first fill leaves you hungry, etc. He needs to hear from you. Working together is the key. It took two fills for me to get any restriction. The first was 4 cc's which did absolutely nothing for me. Went back a few days later and got 1.75 cc's which put in the zone. I now eat 4-5 oz of Protein and feel full. It holds me for 5 hours.

Keep up the good work.......

I'm the same. Was banded mid Feb, 1st fill of 5ml (in a 9ml) band, 6 weeks post op, no restriction. 2nd fill of 2ml a couple of weeks ago, still nothing. Maybe it's normal for some of us?
