I had my second fill on the 20th...so today makes 1 week.

Hi All...just a quick question... I had my second fill last week (first fill was 2 ccs, this second one was 1 cc...) and am at a total of 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. After my first fill- I felt a little restriction, but could definitely use more. After my second fill...I am totally tight....but at only 3 cc's?? While we were doing my fill, my dr mentioned that everyone is different, but he doesnt think I am even close to where I have an optimum amount of restriction...then whoa! 48 hrs later...major restriction! I know that everyone is completely different, but when did you start to feel you were at you "sweet spot"? Thanks!! Surgery Date : May 18, 2009 Lbs lost since surgery: 27

I was banded on May 18th..and for the first week and a half...I had the same problem. I think it is just trapped gas from the surgery. I went the costco one day with the family...and did ALOT of walking...I think that really broke up the gas in my body..that night i was burping and passing a lot of gas...and the chest tightness pretty much went away. I am pretty sure it will pass soon...if not, give your Dr. a call. :thumbup:

Quick question.... I was banded on May 18th...surgery weight was 222...Last Wednesday (May 27th) I was down to 205... Over the last week, I have gained 4 pounds! I have progressed to a pureed diet...but my calories are at about 500 per day...I am walking every night with intensity. Has anyone had a similar experience...it's kind of depressing. Thanks.:wub:
