Just got my fill and was pretty tight but now not so much.

I just had port revision done a little over a week ago and got a fill that same day. After my fill I noticed that I had decent restriction throughout the day but after 4 days the restriction seemed to lighten up. Was I just swollen or did the band just need time to settle down from surgery or my fill? I still get tight every morning but after lunch my restriction seems to fade. What gives? :(

3ccs in a 4cc band seems like it should be close to your sweet spot but I can see that it might not be quite there yet. You probably have some restriction but had some swelling due to the port revision surgery and that has now abated. And that would make it seem now like you've lost restriction. Try eating really on program and see if you get hungry in less than 4 hours. That's a good indicator.

What did the port revision entail? My port is angled a bit and I have to pay $450 to get my fills done under xray. I'm thinking I might need a port revision. Was it an easy surgery? Or more extensive than I think?

it wasnt as bad as the first surgery to be honest i was just a little sore in my big incision for the first few days but was walking around for hours the day i had completed my surgery. so its not a big deal at all.

Oh, thanks, good to know in case I need to get mine done!
