Frankly it took me until my 4th fill (5.5 ccs total in a 14 cc band) to begin to feel any restriction. Hang in there.

That is a long time to go without having a fill. Why was there a delay with getting your first fill?

With each fill I received at the doctor's office, I would have restriction for a couple of weeks and then nothing. My last fill was on January 28, so I am hoping my restriction will last longer than two weeks.

Good luck!

I've experienced almost the same two-week pattern, TQuad, although I wouldn't say I had no restriction after two weeks, but it seemed to diminish greatly over night. I was convinced I had a leak, but my doctor assured me that I didn't. I've been holding my breath since my last fill 2 1/2 weeks ago, and so far - KNOCK ON WOOD - I still have great restriction. That's not to say that it's as good as the first week following the fill, but that had to be partially due to swelling. I'm feeling great, staying satisfied for four hours+ between meals, and keeping my meals at 1/2 cup. I'm praying this lasts!

Yep Kiz, I hear you. I am coming up on two weeks this Wed and I am hoping the restriction stays with me and I do not lose any more of my fill.
