  1. :tounge_smile: Thanks for your response. I was beginning to think that something might be wrong. I recently heard of a man who did not get his first fill for 1 1/2 years - so now I feel lucky that I did not need a fill yet.
  2. I was also banded on November 3rd. I have had a lot of restriction from about two weeks after the surgery. I am 7 weeks out and I burp constantly. I have to be careful with solids and only eat about a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup or less at meals. I have to eat very tiny bits over a 1/2 hr in order to keep it down and my liquids have to be done in tiny sips also. I am glad that I read your blog because now I don't feel like I am alone. I went to the Dr. at 7 weeks and he did not fill my band because I lost too much weight and I have enough restriction now. Isn't it great though - I lost too much weight!!! I wonder if anyone will ever say that I am too thin?? On my way, though. Keep in tough.
