Okay I hate to complain so soon, but has been so long since I've had a fill I have forgotten what's next! I was filled 2.2cc (bAND SIZE 11) on 10/8/10 (almost 3 weeks ago). I was totally empty. But for the last couple of days, I have felt no restriction. However, I am not able to eat an entire meal. Should I feel this way this soon after my fill? Is there something wrong or does it sound like I just need another fill? Please suggest something! I use fill centers USA and will have to drive another 2 hours to get a fill, but I need to know should I schedule?

Does anyone know/have exp. with SEIU Healthcare Ins. of IL and coverage of cosmetic surgery?

I am also interested in knowing what caused this and how long had it been eroded?

Thanks for the reminder, because I hadn't been for a fill. I am hoping that is simply all I need. Thanks again!

So sorry to hear this!

Thanks for your post, I was also banded 5 years ago and it was not until recently that I have been able to eat, eat, eat! I have not had a fill in over a year and I think that it is about that time. It is just great to hear from those that have been banded some time and are still banded, thanks.

You are absolutely correct! I wish the date was just a lot sooner than next month! But I am so ready!

I've had my band for 5 years and have had great success (100lb+ loss), however I am now able to eat anything since I have not had a fill in 2 years, and have begin gaining weight. I have a filled scheduled through fill centers on 10/8 and initially thought that a fill was all I needed. I have been reading the slip board post and have begin to wonder. My port and band feels like it's in the same place, I don't throw up and have no soreness. I regret going to the slip forum. Has anyone else felt this way?:smile2::confused:
