Hi, I Was Banded 15th Nov And Am On The Sloppy Part Of The Diet After Being On Liquids For 2 Weeks, But Find That I Dont Have Any Restriction, It Just Goes Straight Down. I'm Booked To Have My 1st Fill 13th January, But Am Wondering If I Should Have It Done Sooner? Or Should I Wait Till I'm On More Solid Foods? Can Any One Help.

Thanks Debz.

Hi Debz,

It may be worth your calling your surgeon. I'm a bit hazy on the rules of first fill. It's been just over a year since mine. It also depends if the surgeon gave you a small fill during the operation. I know some do and some don't.

You have to give your body a chance to adjust to the new member of your working body. But, there is no harm in finding out what you need to do.

Sorry I can't be much help for you but I do hope that it all works out for you.

Kind regards

Suzy

hi, I had my fill in October with WGA and then had my first fill three weeks later. I'm glad mine was earlier than later as it would of been so easy for me to slip back to old habits. Good luck

My band was fitted in September and I should have had my 1st fill last Monday the 17th but unfortunately the port has flipped and will have to wait until I have a Xray in the New Year and after that get a fill. I have no restriction and feel the op has been a waste of time. The Consultant says I should look at as a 2 year plan but I just feel I have already lost 4 months.

Please don't get down hearted I know you build yourself up to be banded and then feel like nothing had happened. Even though I've had my first fill the restriction now is not enough and I seem stuck at the same weight. And I know people mean well but the constant asking "how much have you lost this week" and the trying to explain you have no restriction can get you down. But you've got to remember this is going to change your whole life so hey four months isn't alot. We'll all still be here when you have your next stage of problems. So chill have a great Christmas xx
