hi,i was banded april18,2008 by dr. Valin.and i had 2 fills so far and i am having my 3rd in dec. I don't have much restriction now. Who is your dr.? Good luck with your fill.

I had the exact thing happen to me. The dr. And the dietician said the same thing to do what you are doing. And i am also a hair dresser this is common. I don't know how long your hair is? But i had to cut about six inches off of mine it was so bad. Since i cut it it's coming in thicker. They said it takes about a year to get back to normal. Good luck lori
