Hi ! My name is Carol. I had lap-band surgery Jan. 23, 2007. I went on vacation in March so I had my first fill in April. Thinking it wasen't working I dieted until my 2nd fill. Wow! what a difference. I received the fill May 17 and I have so much resistence that I didn't have before. I eat because I have to and not because I want to. I get nauseatated very easy from drinking water. Before the 2nd fill I was drinking 64oz. a day. Is this normal after a fill, or is there too much saline in there. Please answer.

As long as you can drink water you are fine. Usually a fill gets better after a few days. Some folks get a little swelling after a fill.

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad I finally have restriction. You're right, each day gets better

Thank you

Hi, I am Stephie, I was banded on 03/06/07. I had my first fill 04/24/07, 1.2 cc's and 2nd fill on 05/10/07, .4 cc's. I still get hungry and I can still eat more than I think I should be eating. My question is, should I be only eating about 4 ounces or less and be full once I have reached my sweet spot?
