No restriction all of a sudden....

I know nothing with these bands are normal. But this seems weird... I had my second fill on 7/7. Since then I have been pretty tight. I've had to really watch what I eat and take it super slow! Fast forward to yesterday (about 3 weeks later) and I've noticed that I can eat a lot more and everything just goes right down. Even drank right after eating and no issue today. I'm getting nervous that something is wrong. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks!

Yep! Sounds like you are due for a fill! During my first fill I only felt restriction for the first week then after that nothing at all!

Thanks so much! I just worried because after my first fill I went 2 months feeling ok so I didn't expect for it to change so quickly this time. Just when I think I'm getting used to this band I feel something different or new and start worrying that something is wrong! Thanks again for your help!

That happens.

As you lose weight you lose fat around your band site which loosens it up. That's why they recommend going for a fill every month for the first year. Awesome job by the way. You're doing great.

That's a great point!! As you lose weight you will need adjustments because the band loosens up!
