Ok so.. i had my 2nd fill a week ago. up until maybe sunday i felt great restriction.. it was obvious i couldn't eat as much. i was full faster and longer.. one of those things you never want to end. well... it ended. because since sunday i have noticed i am hungier, and not as full as quick. why??? is this normal? i'm afraid my band has a leak or something. does this happen to anyone else? maybe my brain is playing tricks... who knows. i still have lost only 15 lbs since surgery 11/23/09

TOTALLY normal! It took me six fills to get where it get over the irritation around the band after the fill and keep me from being hungry all the time. Everyone is different though, so that doesn't necessarily mean it will take you that many fills, that was just my experience. It is good this way, because it allows for you to be sure you have made the behavioral changes before being fully restricted.

Hang in there... when you reach the correct restriction it will be a wonderful magical day... and all things happen when they are supposed to!
