Hi Jewls, it takes time and sometimes several fills before you will feel restriction. When are you due for your next fill? Why not contact your dr and see if you can get it any earlier? In the meantime, practise selecting healthy foods and know that restriction will come eventually. good luck.

Hi Jewels

I was banded 7/26/2011 and I know right where you are at!! I was given a 'small fill' at the time of my surgery and that did really well for 3 weeks. By week 4 I told my doctor I wasn't feeling restriction so he gave me a .5 fill. Here I am two weeks later and 4 pounds more and I feel like I have NO restriction. I called my doctors office and the soonest they could see me was 2 weeks later (from when I called - appt. is next week). I eat healthy. Love salads and seafood and chicken so thats not a problem. I got the band so it would help me control the amount I ate. Right now everything is like a 'slider' food and it's frustrating!! I know, I know, 'practice self control'. Do call your doctor dear. Let them know you're not feeling restriction and you'd like to come in sooner for your next fill. Good luck
