Hi Pam,

Give it a few days. It takes a couple of days sometimes for a fill to kick in. No one knows why this is, but it is. Also, if this is your first fill, you may not get the restriction you are looking for. I had no restriction my first fill and finally got some on the second fill. Everyone is different and needs different fill levels. It can take anywhere on average from 3-5 fills to feel good restriction, so hang in there!!!

Another thought, did your doc ask you to stay on liquids for any length of time after your fill? If so, well, liquids won't restrict easily. When it's time, test out your fill with solid but well-chewed foods and you may feel a difference. Be careful though. Just when you think that little band isn't there, it makes itself known with one unchewed or too big bite. Ouch!

Hi Pamdin,

I havent had my first fill yet and I am curious how this works out for you. Let us know if/when it kicks in.

Even though I have no fill, every once in a while I have that pain (the one that lets you know it's there) and I know if that feeling were there all the time, I'd be afraid to over eat or under chew! So, I gotta get a fill soon!!!

For me my first fill did nothing - my second fill did too much - had a partial unfill and now just a little better than after my first fill. Its not an exact science so you may not feel anything and will need to schedule your 2nd fill in a month.

It can take 3-5 fills to get you to the right restriction, so hang in there.
