Ow long before your fill kicks in?

I've read where some people feel the difference sometimes 2 weeks post fill. I felt mine immediately, or should I say I felt my 3rd-6th immediately. The first 2 nada. I was pushy with the appt desk. I insisted on coming in 3 weeks out since I was in bandster hell and needed a fill that gave me restriction.

Mine dont really kick in for 2 weeks at least sometimes its 3 weeks post fill .. wierd but true

Very odd with my last two fills I had restriction early on and then it seems to go away. This 3rd fill lasted longer then the second but now I am questioning whether or not I need more. I am a little confused. I see Nutrtionist tomorrow and I will discuss it. My fill appointment is Monday.

Your fills may not seem to be lasting because you're losing weight, and as we lose weight, we need more fill to tighten our bands.

I read this topic about fills a long time ago and thought it was very useful information. I hope it helps you, too.

Thanks I'll check that out. My concern with fills is I am already at 7cc in a 11cc band. I don't want to max it out.

can people max out their bands?

I am at my second fill and I felt a little restriction about 4 days after. Don't know if it was because the dr had me on liquids for 3 days after my fill.
