I got my 1st fill 1 week ago and I still am not getting the full sensation and I can still eat quite a bit of food. I dont know if they did not put enough into my band or what but I am worried that I am going to be one of the people that the band just doesnt work for me. Any advice feel free to give it please.

I think many have not had much sensation of restriction after the first fill, it can take up to 3 to 4 fills before this happens, but its very individual. Pateince and moderation is the key to getting through these times till u get to your sweet spot. Most Surgeons proceed with caution for the fills so as to not cause you any problems. Just give it time and i am sure you will be ok

You would be unusual if

you did have restriction after one fill.it typically takes several unless you are extremely lucky

Be patient! That's why fills are considered "adjustments"...it takes tweaking. You'll get there!

I also had my first fill three days ago. I am noticing a little more restriction than before. I am working very hard at being aware the moment I start to feel full in my chest / upper stomach area. That's when I stop eating. I dont have full restriction, but I dont eat like I did before. But I still get hungry. It's been a great start though.

Took me 6 months of getting fills every 3-4 weeks to get restriction. If you have not done so yet buy a good digital food scale. Measure out your protein (my doctor says 3 oz) and then eat low cal/ carb veggies (no butter/cream). I don't think enough doctors tell people this is a will power diet at the begining.

It's a Fill after Fill process, so you will have a few more before you feel restriction.

This is the Norm, so,,, your fine.

thanks so much for the advice guys, it makes me feel a whole lot more "normal" and at ease. thanks again.
