Hello Everyone!!

I am 3 months post opp and so far I've been doing well. I went for my second fill on 10/25/11 (2 weeks ago). I'm just a little confused, I have 6cc's in a 14 cc band, the first week I had great restriction then I got a stomach bug and spent an entire night dry heaving. I never "threw up" but since then I only seem to have restriction first thing in the morning, by lunch time I have ZERO restriction. I haven't had any pain or anything that would make me think I have a slip, but could i have one? Can dry heaving but never throwing up cause a slip? Would I have the restriction in the mornings if I did have a slip? Is it normal for your "restriction" to go away that suddenly? I'm just a little confused about the matter & any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. My next fill appt isn't until Nov 29th, should I make a check up appt before then?

I think most of us find that our restriction levels change throughout the day from being tighter in the mornings to looser in the latter parts of the day.

I am tighter in the Morning, like most Bansters are.

I open up a little more buy Noon- 1:00 P.M....

But by the evening I am starving.

Sp I stay between 800-1200 calories a day, to keep consistent with weight loss.

I have been tighter, and I can't eat or drink in the morning, or afternoon.

I would open up around 7:30 P.M....

I think I'll stay where I'm at...

warm Tea, or Hot chocolate helps to open you up..

Any warm liquid.

Thanks for the tips Shirley. I guess I'm just worrying over nothing. I just want to feel restriction ALL the time LOL. I'm loving my band an my weigh loss is decent, I just want to feel like it's 9am 24 hours a day!! Its nice being full after 2 pieces of turkey bacon!!

Long time no hear from...

Glad your doing Good !

Thank you! I hope you are doing good as well. Life has just been a little crazy, the work of a wife and mother are never done!!
