:angryi got my first fill today and i don't feel like it is doing anything!! is this normal?? it is hard to be patient but maybe some encouraging words would help!!! do i need to wait till the next fill? do i worry that the band is malfunctioning or something worse??

SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!

Often the restriction after the first fill is not enough to notice. And then again sometimes you will notice more after a few days. Eat carefully just in case and go it slow because if you go too fast on the fill amount your stomach can swell and that might mean a total unfill to heal - all in all a set back in the weight loss then!!

It will work just give it time.

livetoride - give it a few days and if you still feel like there is no difference go see your doctor for another top up

I've had 5 fills now, up to 7cc and it's only now that I can actually feel it working. Hang in there.
