I had my second fill three days ago and I tried some regular food tonight. It was awesome! I hadn't had any restriction yet, but I ate about 3/4 c. food tonight and I was very satisfied, and it lasted for several hours. I even had chocolate in the cabinet that I could resist because my stomach said it was already happy. I did not have any problem with food getting stuck, but I was very, very cautious and chewed about a million times per bite. I just hope the restriction sticks, but even if it doesn't, I finally feel like the band is pulling its own weight. I feel a lot more inspired now to follow the diet better and amp up my exercise routine to start seeing some results.

thats great :thumbup: some people never even neeed a fill... some people like me need many lol

yeah my dr said i have restriction and ive only had one fill

Me too....only one fill and good restriction. But it was interesting to see that I felt that good restriction about 4 weeks after the fill.

Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling to have restriction.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I was starting to worry it wouldn't work at all. I will be curious to see if it gets less restrictive or more restrictive over time.

Keep us posted. I was banded 6/18 and just got my first fill on 10/20. I lost over 40 lbs with no fill and I only got 1cc for my first fill so I hope this will do me good for while.

Good Luck

that's what I'm worried about. I was banded yesterday, not having any problem drinking water, tea, or even a protein shake. Still sore though
