I read that it could take several fills to feel restriction...

wondering though...is it possible to feel restriction after the first fill?

I got my first fill 1 week ago (3cc in a 10 cc band) and I have restriction, Big time! I mean not too much cause I can get things down and Ya I have to eat SMALL bites I chewed WELL or it gets stuck and it hurts so much more when it gets stuck after a fill then before I got one. Im a cash patient and only get 3 free fills before I have to pay 300$ each so I told my surgeon to not be conservative with my first fill. Im very happy with the restriction. I have already lost 5 lbs since I got it!

I had my first fill a few weeks ago (5cc in a Realize Band) and I only have minimal restriction. Going back on Aug 25th for my second fill and hoping that will do the trick.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
