Hi Everyone,

I was banded April 22, 2009.......I had my 3rd fill Friday (actually my 4th, but had problems and had to be completly unfilled for 6 weeks). Now have 4.8ccs in 10 band.

I am having a hard time getting the food to go down in the beginning (when starting to eat), but after awhile I can eat and it takes alot to get filled.......So I guess I am not at my sweet spot yet........but does it sound like I am having any restriction???

I am very confused.

Help.

Thanks

Are you drinking when you eat? If so, your just flushing everything past your band. Let me know if you're not, we'll work on something else.

No, Not really. Try to wait at least 1/2 hour.

i asked the very same question take a look at some of the replies in the thread..

i have trouble to with the first bite and the 2nd and i eat slowand band friendly things.. and im like hmm whats this about but as soon as u warm up ur esophgaus and it gets used to pumoing u can begin to eat..comfortably not rediculous amounts but more comfortably then truggling with the first few bites.. they call this first bite syndrome.

read the thread perhaps it will be of use to you.

good luck! and keep us posted.
