hAD surgury 11/30 never had a restriction at all quit smoking 2 weeks before surgury. So no picking up a ciggerratte when hungry.Monday is my first fill. Since surgury gained 18 lbs because of eating & quiting smoking. please tell me others had absolutely no restriction until they had fills? Scared & discouraged praying the fills work

I had ZERO restriction until I got my second fill. Then I was overfilled and had to get a slight unfill. now I have mild restriction and need a little put back in.

As far as gaining the weight you just stopped smoking and when I quit I gained 20+ lbs, make sure your not eating to substitute smoking when you feel the need for a smoke go for a walk take a warm bath even brush your teeth anything either then eating.

Good Luck.

I also had no restriction even after first fill. I am scheduled for second fill this week and hope to feel the difference. Good for you for quitting smoking! That's huge. Don't beat yourself up. You will even out and start to get results.

i just recently quit smoking too. i was banded 1/3/11.... its hard. another person on here told me that before we get our first fill its usually hell. i was at the doctors the other day and a guy in there said he gained weight before his 1st fill. i wouldnt be alarmed. good luck!

I actually get my first fill on the 26th. I have absoluletly no restriction and it has me a little concerned. I can eat just about anything I want. I havent gained any weight but havent lost much. SO I am with you. I am Praying that the fills work.
