I have been having fills every 3weeks and my last fill was 7/2.I FINALLY felt some restriction with the last fill but now it seems to be fading.I definatly have to eat ALOT slower.I have never Pb'd but I do get the stuck feeling sometimes.The problem is I still feel like I can eat too much (ex:Lg ceaser salad with 5 grilled shrimp,Hamburger pattie with 1/2 cup veggies) Plus anything goes down as long as I chew well..bread,rice, donuts:rolleyes,popcorn.I am walking/jogging 2 miles a day and eating lots of protein.I just want to get the maximum out of the band as possible.I have lost a decent amount but it seems to be slowing and I have done most of it on will power alone.Sorry for rambling I just feel so unsure regarding another fill.

Hi Amy,

My gut instinct (no pun intended) is that you may need another fill. Since everyone is different, it may take several adjustments before you feel adequate restriction.

Good luck!!!

Yes, you need another fill. You shouldn't be able to eat 5 shrimps with a large caesar salad. You should only be able to eat a little bit of a hamburger patty as well. Go back in until you can only eat 1/4 cup of food. Good luck.

1/4 cup of food?? How in the world would you get enough nourishment that way?

I am glad this question was asked, b/c I find myself in the same boat. I know I definitely have restriction; but just don't think it's enough. Caesar salad is exactly what I had yesterday and today. 1/2 of the small tin from a pizzeria each day. So, 1/2 breast, plus the lettuce (and a few anchovies). I'm seeing my doctor for my 1 month follow up visit after my 2nd fill, on Thursday. At that point, I'm going to tell him that I have 'some' restriction, but can certainly eat more than 1/4 cup….more than 1 cup. Albeit slow and chewed well.

Well I had a fill yesterday.I am still on liquids so I quess I'll know tomorrow how my restriction is.Hopefully good!!!!
