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!

:-( that really sucks
