I am tight in the doctors office. Next day I can eat like there is no fill. Does it sound like a leak?

First, please out your profile so we can help you.

When was your surgery?

How many fills have you had?

Keep in mind fills aren't to stop you from eating anything. They're to find the right Fluid level to allow you to be satisfied on less food for longer periods of time.

I was the same for a long time. Most of my first few fills didn't really give me any restriction beyond the first day. But as I moved closer to the green zone, they lasted longer, and eventually, I had full time restriction. It took a fair amount of fills to get to that point for me too. Not everyone gets restriction within the first few fills.

So it's not unusual if you're just starting out and have not yet hit the green zone. But if you've had restriction before and now seem to be losing it within a day no matter how much they fill you, that's a different scenario altogether.

Hey I had my first fill yesterday , really don't have any restrictions yet . Doctor told me to come back next week and he'll add more to my band. Right now I have 3cc in my band, so I'll keep every one posted. Hopefully I'll have more restrictions next week.

Missy I can't figure out how to do my profile. Can someone help. Can you do it on phone?

I've not done it from my phone, but I know from a pc you can click on your own profile then there's an "edit profile" button on the right upper side of the page.

Can't find edit profile button. My page must be displaying weird

Got it now!

I don't usually feel the changes from the fill until about a week out, maybe you need to give it some time?

It looks like you were banded in October, so I'm guessing you've had maybe 3 fills?

It's possible you just don't have adequate Fluid in your band yet. For most people it does take multiple fills over time before they finally really feel the presence of their band.

Be patient, it will come

Actually I had 6 fills! 11 in a 14 band

wow your doctor moves fast!

If you're worried about a leak, just have him check the Fluid in your band. It's super easy, all he has to do is withdraw the fluid in the band to measure it and immediately put it back in. By doing this you'll know whether or not you are missing fluid.
