Hello Everyone!! I just had my 3rd fill today- for a total of 4.5cc in a 10 cc band. I can feel some really good restriction! Im a little surprised though. My last fills I just felt a little restriction that subsided by the end of the day. But I had my appt at 9:30 this AM and I can still feel it really good. So good in fact that all I have had is about 1/2 cup of soup all day and I'm not hungry at all! Im super excited since my weight loss has been really slow. But I was just wondering if anyone else has felt like this- after a few days is it possible that this restriction will "go away?" I really hope not, I feel like this might just be "the one!" YAY I LOVE MY BAND!:thumbup:

I was banded the day before you! My loss has been really slow, as well. I'm still searching for that "sweet spot" that will prevent me from being hungry all the dang time!

I've found that my fills actually tend to tighten up as time goes on, so I've been waiting for three to four weeks between fills. I think that some people experience a loss of restriction as swelling from the stomach irritation due to Fluid being added to the band goes down. As with so many other things in this journey, I think that it's a really individual experience!
