Feeling the effects .... 3 WEEKS LATER?

I have had some trouble with finding that "sweet spot", as I am sure most of you have also. I was filled too tight about a month ago, and went in for an unfill. I was left with no restriction, so back in for a fill. Still nothing, so back in for a fill again. Two days ago, I thought about calling to go for yet another fill. Lo and behold, since yesterday, I am so restricted again, that I am having trouble with liquids again. I am able to sip Water, but cannot get coffee down, or even pineapple juice. Keep in mind, that I DID not get another fill, although like I said, I was going to make the appointment.

So tell me you experienced banders .... what up? Can a fill really take 3 weeks to "kick" in? On Friday of last week, I had a cheeseburger for lunch. Yesterday, I was able to take in 6oz of water, and nothing else. ??????:help:

It's been my experience that a fill can take a couple of days and known for a week. Don't be to quick to run to the doctor every few days. I actually noticed one of my fills two weeks later. BE PATIENT!!!! We didn't put the weight on in one night, we won't lose it in one night either. How far post op are you??
