Hey all. I have had 2 fills and am going for my 3rd next week. I still haven't felt real restriction and wondered if anyone else has the same thing? I was keeping around 5oz of food but for the last few weeks I am probably eating double that with no problems. I am scared that I could be damaging the band but everything goes down really easy. I have hit a weight-standstill and have been staying the same weight for the past 3 weeks or so. Anyone else like me? Are you eating more than you are supposed to because you are hungry? Trisha

My doctor makes sure you have restriction everytime he does a fill. So I hate to hear your dont have restriction. That sucks.

I am lucky to have an agressive doctor.

I do want to let you guys know that I think I am feeling some restriction! I have had a few times when I swallow some chicken (maybe I didn't chew enough) where I feel like it is having a hard time passing. It hurts going down. This is not all food, just meat and big chunks of things. I think I am the only person who is happy to get something stuck! It proves to me that restriction is on the way. I am thinking for my next fill maybe I should ask for only .50 cc intsead of the whole 1cc he usually does. Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys that I am somewhat relieved and to hang in there!

Good for you...No I was thrilled when I had my first stuck issue...Now I hope NOT to have them. PMS is a bitch with the band.
