Restriction 2 Weeks After Fil. Is That Normal



Recommended Posts

I had my third fill 2 weeks ago and am up to 5 mm. I did not experience any real restriction until yesterday. Now everytime I eat.. I feel a lot of restriction almost painful. No problem with liquids at all. To my experienced bandsters. Is that normal?

Have you re-thought what and how you are consuming your food? You obviously seem to have some restriction so you may have to consider what you need to do differently now.....smaller bites, more chewing, going slower, etc. It was very easy for me, without any restriction, to not pay as much attention to these things. With each fill, you may need to change or reassess your eating.

I can go 2 or 3 weeks before i feel the restriction kick in so as far as i know thats just normal, some doctors have stated it can take up to 4 weeks to feel the restriction from a fill as per other forum threads on here so as long as u can drink etc lose some weight and the band will loosen slightly naturally anyways :)

My band has a mind of its own. Sometimes it will tighten and I challenges with food that I always eat. Sometimes I chew better or not or eat too fast.

Good luck!

Sorry Hun, I dont think you will get much restriction at all after only one fill. :( Took me atleast 5-6 fills. You'll get there!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
