LBS on Dec 15. Initial fill was 1.5 cc's. I felt I had made the right decision as I was not hungry and unable to eat while adhering to liquid diet & soft foods. At 4 weeks ahd 2cc's. felt restriction for 2 days, and after that I was hungry and am now able to eat a side of BEEF! why is it that I feel initial restriction after fill and then I am back to normal eating? I will be going in for another fill soon. Will the day come when I have that constant feeling of restriction? I spent a lot of money for this, and yes I amhoping it will be the majic cure all.

It definitely is going to take a couple of fills before youdind the feeling of fullness. Relax you will get there. It takes a couple of fills before u reach that point.

I've had 4 fills and still no restriction, though I'm still losing very slowly.

That is how the lap band works, slowly and the reason the restriction seems to loosen up is you are losing fat around where your band is. It is normal to have to have adjustments, you have lost a lot be proud of yourself and keep after the goal!

It takes a while, it took me 3 fills. Had my surgery in July and I'm now feeling the "real" restriction"...it will happen and it's better to go slow anyway, this way you get use to eating small amounts at a slower pace.

I also agree its gonna take a few more fills before you feel restrictions. Be patient.... Enjoy cause it may not be so pleasant for you when you become too tight.

well when you have no restrictions and all of a sudden you do it does take some time geting us to it? at the most for me. and if your too tight you may start to cough at night and puke. and it may be hard to get back in to see your Dr. if your a distance away and have a very busy schedule at work like me.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
