    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.
