Poll: How long after a fill do you feel restriction?

[newdicarlo 0]

The title says it all--how long does it take you to feel any restriction with a fill?

I have had 2 fills and have yet to feel restriction. I went this past Friday for another fill and was told that the port has moved and flipped 180 degrees???? Now I have to schedule surgery to replace it. I have heard though that some say it takes your 3rd fill or more to start really feeling it.

It was 10 days after first fill and it wasn't pleasant.

Im usually tighter right away ... then after a couple days and the swelling goes down its not so tight... I didnt get restriction til fill #2...

port flipped? this does not sound good? How are you and how did it happen?

I wish you the best of luck with the new surgery. Please let me know how you make out.

Thanks,

Sammi :-)

The first fill I don't think I felt till a couple weeks later. Then the second fill was tight at first but then nothing. This time I have been with the third fill for a week and it was good from the start and after a week it is still good. By golly, I think I got it!

I feel a fill the second they put they inject me with the needle. There is a definately tightening around the band for me and I also my restriction level goes up as well when I eat. I think this maybe the exception to the rule however since I'm rather sensitive xD;

I have been banded for 1 1/2 years. (wow, it doesn't feel like it has been that long.) Now that I'm at my sweet spot, it doesn't take much to feel the restriction. I pretty much feel it while the needle is still in. After the swelling goes down it loosens up, but I usually have to stay on liquids for close to a week after a fill before going to mushies. Honestly I don't feel deprived of "real food" because I'm really not hungry. Sometimes I have to do a mental checklist, "have I eaten today???"

i just got my 3rd fill and i really feel it they kept saying i would be sick and didnt want to fill me i knew i wanted it i have 6cc in my band and she said i have resistance of 1cc meaning i did have pressure from my band on my stomach. this one really did it for me i drink 2 shakes and have dinner and feel so satisfied but then again its only been one week hopefully i can continue on this way and loose some more weight.
