Im getting 3rd bandfill tomirrow and hoping i get some restriction. Had none at all with 2 bandfills, and even tho im sticking to 1000 cals, no carbs, i havent lost a thing since 1st fill. I havent got loads to lose either.
It seems some are really lucky and it takes 2 fills. Others it takes 3 or 4.
How much have you got in your band and what size?
dont dispair. The band isnt really doing its job yet untill you get the right fill.
Willpower is all good and well, but what to do when your hungry! Lol
Good luck with it all 😊

The nurse said it was too deep and they didn't have any needles that long???
Also still had some infection around the scar.
Really disappointed and have to wait a month before they try again. If that doesn't work I will have to wait another month.
Worried that I am going to put the 28lbs I lost back on at this rate.
Hopefully your next fill will be better.

Ive felt no restriction and lost nothing since first fill. I insisted the nurse fill me as much as possible. I even got her to check i didnt have a leak!!
Got filled from 5.5ml to 8ml!
On liquids for a few days, but cant say i feel any different at the moment.
Ive only got a 10ml band, so what happens if i get to 10ml!!!!
