:hungry: I don't feel any more restriction than I did this morning before my fill.

Yea, you don't normally hit the "sweet spot" with the first fill. For me in my 4cc band, it took several fills. From what I've heard of the VG bands, they take even longer.

Whoever said patience is a virtue, must have had the band in mind lol. Don't worry, you'll get there.

Oh .. and meant to add, sometimes you'll feel more restriction later, like even a week or two after a fill for some reason.

I've heard many say that it smetimes takes a week or so for the fil to be felt....don't ask why, that's just what they say!! I have a 10 cc band, have had 2 fills but haven't had one since july....all of a sudden I am getting seriously hungry so I know I need a fill.

Gail, I noticed that you were banded in March 06. You have lost weight very fast. What Or how have you been eating. I know that sounds funny, but I am waiting on the approval from my insurance to be banded. So when I get it I want it to work to my advanatage and lose fast like you. Thanks for the info.

Yes I think you're right I am feeling a little bit of restriction this morning.
