I was banded on 5/20 starting weight was 336 now 287 it's a tough not eating but this is the best choice I have made. I have had 1 tightening so far but still feel little to no restriction when should I start feeling restriction or full with very little food ?

If you don't feel the restriction, go back and get another fill. If your Doctor allows, keep going back every few weeks or so until you start to feel it.

This restriction should be immediate. My doctor would make me drink 8 oz of Water before I leave his office to make sure I was not too tight. I felt it immediately, but was sure it went down within 30 mins.

I love that feeling~

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
