3 weeks ago I had my first fill and was so excited as I thought this would be the extra help I needed to not overeat. well that is just not the case at all. I can still consume way to much food without any negative feelings such as tightness un the chest or a real sense of fullness. I have a 14cc band and initially had 3cc filled on my first fill. anyone out there with the same issues. and does a 2nd fill help??:help:

The larger band will take a few fills to be effective. I have 9cc in mine and can feel it now. For now, it will be a lot of willpower

For most people it takes 2-3 fills to see a difference and usually more before you hit your sweet spot.

I have the 10cc AP band with 1 fill of 2cc and I feel nothing.

Go back and get fills until you have good restriction. It took me 5. Good luck.

<p>I just had my first fill this morning. Back on liquids</p>for 2 two days. But the Surgeon told me to be back in 3 weeks for another fill. I'm already scheduled. He said I should get "some" restriction from this one, but some people don't until they have had 2 -3. Right now I feel no difference. But I'm crossing my fingers!!!

I have the AP small (10cc) band. I've had one fill of 2cc and I have no restriction either. I go back Thursday, so I will let you know if fill #2 does the trick.
