Re: No difference with fill>Mimi

[Guest guest]

Morning Mimi - I'm guessing you have a 10ml band and for most of us,

we don't experience much restriction until about the 3rd fill or so.

I would think you will start feeling the diff when you hit about 6ml,

but go up in small increments from here or you could overfill as we

all have different points at this happens at and believe me this is

not a fun place to be.

Don't worry it is perfectly norm that you have not noticed a

difference - have one or two more little fills (your doc may

recommend 0.5ml increments) and you'll notice soon enough.

Cheers

Cherie

Mimi...I agree with Cherie, it was instant for me the first two

times, but the last one the restriction comes and goes. Take it slow

with the fills, go up little by little. I have done that and have

only had the one major hiccup where I had total restriction...

nothing not even water or ice chips would go down.

Yesterday I was really struggling to get liquid down at all. I was

sitting having drinks at about 4pm with the girls and I stupidly

nibbled on a wedge with chilli sauce.. from that moment on it was

backwards and forwards till the problem cleared. Panic maybe??

knowing I was going to the concert and would have no escape... not

sure. It settled when we walked back to the stadium and I sipped on

water and wine, but not enough to make up for all the walking,

dancing and singing. I came home and was able to guzzle... so maybe

it was a panic thing after getting the wedge stuck.
