3 weeks post op and I'm so hungry and no restriction.
I feel normal and that I've paid all this money and it's not doing anything
Has anyone else felt like this??
Have had a fill yet???
U prob need a fill
its perfectly normal cos at the moment your band will not be operational - you need to build up the restriction gradually with a series of small fills at regular intervals - whilst the surgeon may have put some fluid in your band at the time of the op, it is very unlikely you will have much restriction - any which you do have is likely to be from the swelling due to the op and as the wks go by this will decrease - usually the first fill takes place at your follow up appt roughly 6 wks post op - this should have been explained to you by the bariatric team who carried out your surgery - just keep following the eating plan and dietary info you have been provided with - stick with it cos you can still lose wgt for all you have not reached what is often called the 'sweet spot' or ultimate level of restriction - good luck
