I was banded on 4/19 and have struggled with no restriction. I went for my fourth fill last Thursday for a total of 3.8cc. Finally, I have restriction!! It has been wonderful. I am soooo excited.

I can't wait to get that feeling! I'll be going for my third fill in Sept.

My band was put in with 3cc. When I got my first fill of 1 cc nothin went down. It was very scary and uncomfortable. Go slowly!!!!

I agree, restriction is good, but just as anything, too much of a good thing is bad!

My surgeon is very conservative on fills. My band was placed without anything inside and it has taken four fills to get to 3.8. It seemed like it would take FOREVER to get restriction, but now I am glad that it took a while so that I didn't have any problems.
