Hi everyone, not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but here it goes.
I had the Realize band put in on July 7, 2009. I was supposed to have my first fill on August 7th. About 3 weeks post op I got a Staff infection. I still haven't gotten my first fill and have had no restriction at all. Over the last few days I have noticed a tight feeling when I eat and a need to eat slower and chew more. I also feel full a little sooner. My question is, how can this happen if I could eat anything and everything I wanted a week ago and I haven't gotten a fill. I haven't eaten anything and everything I want but I could have. Can the band tighten on it's own or is it part of the healing process. Thanks for any info you can give me.
