I'm just wondering how long I can expect a fill to last? I am sure it is different for everyone, but I feel I need another one only after about 8 weeks.

I could tell at the exact meal when I lost the good restriction. Has this happened to anyone else?

when you do reach the "sweet" spot I am wondering how long it lasts?

I got my first fill 4 weeks after surgery. I got my 2nd fill two weeks later, and my 3rd fill two weeks after that. I am having my 4th fill on Tuesday.....2 weeks since my last one.

I was upset at my last fill and asked the dietician (who is also banded) if I would EVER hit that elusive "sweet spot".....she said, "Don't worry. It will happen for you!"

So, I'm hoping that fill #4 for find me at the sweet spot. If not, I'll go back in two more weeks for another.

I've had 3 fills and feel quite restrited and will have enthusiastic burps fi i go over the top excuse the pun. I have seemed to slow with the weight loss though and wonder if another fill is needed. i can only have a small side plate of food as a main course is yhis going ok? I've lost 21/2 stone since April 10th 2006:confused:

thanks for the replies!

I had another fill the other day and feel pretty good.

I'm just wondering how long the restriction lasts..and wonder if I will need fills for years to come.

I think you can pretty much bank on needing fills from now on...at some point or other. I don't think we ever get to the point where a fill lasts forever. I just got my third fill two days ago and I already am not feeling it.

how do u know when u need a fill?

i just completed week 2 since surgery , my doctor says most of his patients never need adjustments????
