Had my second fill on Wednesday. First one was .5cc and I was gaining because I wasn't restricted. Second fill and I'm now 1.2cc. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were fine. Today I've had one issue after another. Coffee was fine this am, but when I make some scrambled eggs about noon and took my first bite, I thought I was going to die. A couple of hours later I nibbled on the eggs chewing really good (took me about 45 minutes to eat them). Late lunch I had a small piece of cheese, no problem and a sample smootie from the Vita Mix guy at Costco. Dinner just sat down to eat and the first tiny bite of fish was horrible once again. My question is, do fills tighten up after a few days? Seems strange that I'm having so much trouble on day 4.

that's a good question, I get my first fill this coming friday so I'm not sure what to expect, I do feel a little nervous about it I know that I'm going to be bak on liquids for a couple of days right after the fill

So you've been banded for over a year without a PB. Did you get the pain like you wish you could and have to wait it out before?

It's been a bad day, hopefully tomorrow my band will be looser. I'm having some warm tea now, but think any attempt at eating today is a done deal.

The answer to your question is yes, fills can seem to "kick in" after some time. It can be a day or it can be three weeks--you never know until it's your turn.

And scrambled eggs can be VERY problematic even if you're not very tight. They are TROUBLE for me, that's for sure.

Thanks to all.

I went in today and got a bit taken out. I was only at 1.2cc and now I'm back down to .8cc, but feeling better and was able to eat some mashed potatoes for dinner without it killing me.

so you can feel the effects of a fill a week or two later? I had a rough day sat. after having my fill on wed. but today i had no problem eating.
