Hi everyone, this is my first thread ever. I wanted to ask you if anyone can tell me why I can't feel anything. I had the surgery on Jan 26, 2010. My first fill was 2 cc on Feb 15, 2010 and didn't feel any restriction. My second was 2 cc (total of 4 now) last Monday but I feel no restriction, I can feel the stuff in my tummy and my doctor feels it too. But I am frustrated as I have read some of you have 4 cc and feeling restricted. Is this natural? I feel like calling the doc and tell him to add 2 more cc asap. What do you think?:wink:

I was the same way, but my dr. is very communicative, but I had lost my job and couldn't afford to go all the time...anyway, yes keep your appt. get about 2 cc's removed and you should be fine, PBin is NOT good you could cause your band to slip. Some days I was fine, others I would end up over the sink at every meal, I got to the point where I just didn't want to do it anymore. Then I found out that there is new research done on the band. When the food passes thru it goes back up again, then down, it does this about 3 times, stimulating the nerves, so it is extremely important to allow at least 1 1/2 to 2 min. between bites (I know this is hard), but it does work and MEASURE YOUR FOOD no more that 3/4 to 1 cup or 4-6 oz. of TOTAL food, if you eat slow and allow the time between bites, you will get full and you won't PB. If your dr. is not helping, is there another you can go to? They should be there for you for after care! Let me know how you do. Good luck
