When I rang the clinic to tell them they said it's normal at this stage , as it's will power over the next few weeks  ,that will help me loos weight.its the next fill that will be the one with fills me.!!!  Not happy at all if I had willpower I wouldn't have had a gastric band!

    Hi Lorraine, I had my first fill 3 weeks ago and have felt absolutely no restriction.  I haven't lost any further weight since the fill so I am feeling very disillusioned at the moment.  I really wanted to feel better about myself for the summer.  Just hope the next fill works.  Only got 4 ml in at present I think.

    Well I have now been and had a successful band fill.

    My port is very deep but with some very odd positioning the nurse was able to put 5 ml in.

    I'm on the liquid diet again for 3 day's and feeling absolutely no restrictions so I will have to keep going and wait for the next band fill in a month.

    God I'm hungry!

    Good to hear about others experiences, really keeping me going.

    I had my first fill in April and have been massively disappointed.  i feel no different at all, no restriction and really hungry.  I havent lost any weight and am starting to think wit's been an enormous waste of money!! Second fill tomorrow, just hoping  for better results.
