1st fill after 5/28/08 surgery

:confused:I just had my first fill. I had 2ccs placed during surgery. I now have 4ccs. I am able to eat normally just hours after the fill. I have a 10cc AP (Advanced Platform) band. Being able to eat normally after a fill should not be normal, right?

Question, why did you wait so long for a fill?

But yes, I was able to eat normally after a fill up until my 5th one. I didn't have restriction until then. My doc had me wait 24hrs before eating solid food tho after a fill.

I also ate normally after my first two fills...I had my 3rd fill a week ago today and am feeling a little restriction but I think I will need a fourth and possibly 5th fill before I am fully adjusted...It is normal, I have talked to many other patients in my doctor's office and they all have had the same experiences. I was afraid the surgery was not working too but I can surely feel I am getting close to where I should be. Best of luck to you!
