WOW. Amazing that people dont really read these threads correctly. I never said that i was expecting restriction with out a fill. I expressed concern that others state that they feel NO restriction after 2 or three fills and wanted to know what to expect. YES, my doctor did tell me a million times what to expect after surgery. Thanks DR C For re-iterating this to me but wanted to know if other Patients found problems with restriction AFTER FILLS. Please dont berate me unless youve read the whole post.

Hello everyone. I was banded about 4 weeks ago and im a bit disappointed that i do not feel very restricted.. at ALL. Can someone tell me what to expect with the first fill? I went to a support meeting and i was very sad to hear the others complaining that even after 2 or 3 fills that they still don't feel very restricted. What is considered normal.
