  1. 2 months post-op, 1 fill, still not working

    tophermiller posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I got the 9cc Realize Band on May 19th. After the first week of liquids, I had a normal appetite and all food went down fine (without even chewing). This was not at all what I expected. Then June 29th I got a 5cc fill and I still feel about the same, but I feel a mild constriction every once in a while. But then the food slips on through and I can eat more. I don't feel full after small amounts of food like I thought I would. I don't have to chew a lot either. Its almost as if nothing was done and I'm not losing any weight. Discouraging. Is this normal for this time frame? Do I just need to be tighter? My next fill isn't until July 31st.
