I have a question for anyone who would like to answer. I had my 3rd fill a little over a week ago. I have the smaller band so I am up to 1.7cc's now. My question is this...With my second fil I was feeling quite a bit of restriction. Now with my third fill I'm not feeling any restriction, discomfort, anything. I'm actually able to eat as much as I want. So naturally I'm trying real hard to not overeat. I'm also not losing any weight. I haven't for the last 3 weeks or so. Is this natural or is this something I need to be concerned with? I'm exercising so I don't think it's that. I'm just wondering what is going on.

I'm up to 3 cc's and I have the 9.75cm inamed band as well that hold's 4cc's. It took me 6 fills to get here and now I'm too tight and am going for a slight unfill tomorrow. My fills never take full effect for a couple of weeks so maybe it's just taking a little time. Don't get too tight, it's miserable and I'm not losing an ounce. I've not eaten over 500 calories a day in 2 weeks and can't even eat ice cream. Good luck.

I went in for my first fill on 4/16 and do not feel much of a difference... I know this is a tool and I need to be careful what I eat but I thought I would also not be feeling so hungry. I requested a second fill and am going in on May 10th. I hope this works

Thanks for the input beachgirl. I'll keep the overfill in mind. I go back in on 5/08 so we'll see what happens. I'll make sure to post what happens
