I am currently on lap band fill no2 and have a question. In the beginning after my second fill I felt some restriction but now am wondering if it could have been just me being swollen. I do get full on less food post band but feel like I'm eating more then I should. Am I supposed to wait till I'm full to stop eating or could this cause my band to slip? I feel like I was doing better before my fill. The dr said I lost7lbs and was doing great but since my appt I feel like I'm not doing as good. Maybe I expected too much from the fill.

Actually it took about 4 fills before I had great restriction, but everyone is different. Hang in there, you will get there

A fill can cause swelling, so sometimes we experience some restriction then it goes away. For me it was fill 3 before I had anything lasting. Everyone is different.

It took me four fills before they finally found that "sweet spot." If you eat something too big (piece of potato, doughy bread), you'll definitely be reminded that the band is there!
