Hi hun, I am not a bander but I have heard that it is normal not to have proper restriction after your first fill. and when you don't have proper restriction, any weight loss is strickly down to willpower, so GOOD FOR YOU that you have lost 2lbs! What I would suggest is you ring your team and see if they can schedule you for another fill, tell them that you don't feel restriction from you last fill. I know it is hard for you but once you hit that magic fill, you will know it and you will be on your way to losing your weight.

Wishing you the best, sending you encouragement (((hugs))),

hi there kp, please do not worry as whats happening here is very very normal at this stage, most 1st fills rarely make a difference to what can be consumed as restriction is built up gradually over time so that the band isnt too tight to quickly as that can cause problems, every one is different and some need more fills than others to get to that sweet spot. I understand its frustrating but be patient and restriction will come, the hard bit comes after that and learning to use the restriction correctly.

Good luck !
