Well, As the days went by after I posted this comment,I did notice some little restriction. Mainly I have to remember to eat SLOW and I will have a full feeling. If I eat too fast, I get an ugly full feeling (tightening). I'm happy to say that my start weight was 229lbs and now i'm @ 207 lbs : ) . This coming friday I have an appt for a fill and I made an appt at the office that has an x-ray machine so the doc can fill properly! Thanks to all the advice on Patience, its true. I also am walking 3 miles 4-5 days a week, i think that makes all the difference! luving ya!
