Hi,

I was banded on 9/27/10, received my first fill on Tuesday, Oct 26th, and haven't felt any restriction. I'm on mushee food now but still get hungry 3-3 1/2 hours after I eat ...

Shouldn't I feel something when I eat? They placed 3 cc in a 10cc band...

Appreciate any suggestions or words of wisdom..

thank you so much~~

Most people don't feel restriction with their very first fill...

I am at 6.8cc's and I didn't feel any real restriction if that's what you want to call it until i got to that number. Everyone is different though. I made myself stick to smaller portions and if you drink protein shakes and protein bars in between meals it will keep you from being as hungry between meals.

Hang in there, restriction will come. It took me 3 fills to get there.

Im on fill 2 and no more restriction than fill 1...and that was very little. I have a 10cc band and my dr thought I would have some with the 2nd fill ..I have 6 total now but he told me most people take 3-4 fills..so my 3rd fill is Nov. 30th so I really am hoping this one does it. I do have a little restriction but can still eat a good bit. My thing is that I don't measure like I should and I have had a bad week eating things I shouldnt be!! Its tough but you will get to restriction:)
