Hello everyone!

I am hoping that someone will have had this same experience.

I was banded on Jan 23rd and had my first fill on Feb 22nd and was filled 2.2 cc in a 4 cc band I believe. When I first recvd the fill I was very restricted was eating very little and lost 4 pounds the 1st week afterwards. I have now gained 2 of that back and feel the way I did before the fill! I am terrified that I have a leak and the fill has just emptied out. I have to go to CO for the fills and it costs me a lot of money, I am so scared that something is wrong. Does anyone have any advice or similar experience?

Yes, your fill can go away. Sometimes its because you have lost additional weight or you may have a slow leak. I would go back in for a fill and see how much they take out. It just sounds like you need another fill. I didn't get restriction until 4 fills. Good luck.

I think there's a duplicate thread.........

Hey there;

I tend to agree...i think that after the swelling subsides there is sometimes the feeling that my fill doesn't seem as full as it should be. Check it out to be sure though is my thought! You cannot be too careful with these things

My restriction comes and goes. Mine will be gone for as long as a week, and then it comes back. I had a horrible case of bronchitis, and I completely lost all restriction. Now it's back BIG TIME!!! Very strange! Maybe yours will come back???
