I was banded August 24th & just had my first fill this past Friday. (October 2nd) And, having read so many other people's experiences, it does not seem reasonable that I'm feeling restricted after just my first fill.
But I think I am. This is new so I'm not really sure what I'm feeling. The amount I can eat at one time has been reduced noticeably. Where prior to the fill I could eat a 4-5 ounce portion of chicken or fish and a small side dish with no problem now I can't get past 2 ounces. And Sunday evening I know I ate too much and too fast and it came back up on me. (Hopefully a lesson learned.) But that had never happened before.
Has anyone else felt restricted after only one fill? The Dr. gave me 3cc's into a 12 cc band. But he also said there was a little Fluid in there from day one so I don't know what my exact total fill level is.
