Ok so i hit 60lbs lost last Friday :cry_smile:!! I was banded on 3/25/09..This was such a big accomplishment to me. For once in my life i really feel like with the band i can really reach my weightloss goal! I had my first fill on 5/14 and felt good restriction that day and the day after, but the 3rd day i was back to feeling no restriction and hungry:w00t:..Is this normal? Is the restriction feeling supposed to go away that fast? Please Help :thumbup:

Wow 60 lbs down that is so awesome!!!! Usually after I get a fill I feel it for about 2 weeks. Everyone's different when it comes to feeling fills and you also have to take this into consideration: your band may be tighter or looser depending upon what time of the month it is.

Only 2 months and you've lost 60 lbs. already? Hooray! I was banded on 9/9/08 and have only lost 53 lbs. so far. You are doing great! I am just now, after my 3rd fill, getting good restriction. I can only eat 3 bites of a burger and I'm done. I took off 3 lbs. this week because I just got my 3rd fill last thursday. That last fill , I believe, will start me losing again now. Everyone is different. I hope all goes well for you! You LB friend, Patty

Thanks! Its funny u say that depending on the time of the month the band may be tighter or looser because there are days when i feel really hungry and can eat alot and then there are days where i take 2-4 bites of something and im done. I guess i will just have to get used to it. I cant wait for my fill on 6/8. Im hoping i feel something different :thumbup:

Yes it's normal! I didn't really feel restriction until my 4th, and not good restriction until my 5th. In fact I had a LITTLE taken out, and am now on fill/unfill #7 and FINALLY feeling the love. I have a 14cc band and "only" 6.5 in it; my doc is very conservative so different people feel it at different fills and fill levels, but to not feel the first few is very common, depending on the amount, the person, the doc, etc.
