I was banded on 5/20 starting weight was 336 now 287 it's a tough not eating but this is the best choice I have made. I have had 1 tightening so far but still feel little to no restriction when should I start feeling restriction or full with very little food ?

If you don't feel the restriction, go back and get another fill. If your Doctor allows, keep going back every few weeks or so until you start to feel it.

This restriction should be immediate. My doctor would make me drink 8 oz of Water before I leave his office to make sure I was not too tight. I felt it immediately, but was sure it went down within 30 mins.

I love that feeling~

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
