Filled but no restriction...

I had a fill about two weeks ago, before the fill I didn't have any restriction. My fill was 2.6cc & I though that I would have quite a bit of restriction after that, but nothing...well not nothing, I feel like I have a slight amout but I am not loosing weight like I should. How much did is normal for your first fill & about how many fills do most people have to get? Thanks everyone!!!

My band is a 10cm I am pretty sure. Any my fill is a 2.6 cc at this point...any advice or help? Can the fill just dissapear?

First fills frequently do "just disappear." You hear about it all the time. 2.6 in a 10cc band isn't that much. Give it some time and get another fill.

I know exactly what you mean! I had my first fill and actually felt NO difference - I went back the next week and they basically said something about the air in the band displacing the liquid or something along those lines. They brought me up to 1.8 cc saline in my band (I have the smallest one with only 4 cc capacity) and wow it finally made a big difference! I finally understand restriction!

Don't give up - call em back and head back in!
