I read that it could take several fills to feel restriction...

wondering though...is it possible to feel restriction after the first fill?

I got my first fill 1 week ago (3cc in a 10 cc band) and I have restriction, Big time! I mean not too much cause I can get things down and Ya I have to eat SMALL bites I chewed WELL or it gets stuck and it hurts so much more when it gets stuck after a fill then before I got one. Im a cash patient and only get 3 free fills before I have to pay 300$ each so I told my surgeon to not be conservative with my first fill. Im very happy with the restriction. I have already lost 5 lbs since I got it!

Awesome! 5 pounds in one week is great!!!!

congrats!! yeah I am self pay too :w00t: my first is $500 and every other after that is $100..

I hope i have restriction!

I had my first fill a few weeks ago (5cc in a Realize Band) and I only have minimal restriction. Going back on Aug 25th for my second fill and hoping that will do the trick.
