[QUOTE="helen louise, post: 333370, member: 41094"] Hi Had a bit of restriction for a couple of days but that has worn off! its quite common & most people require 3 or 4 fills before restriction happens, The only way I can describe how the effects wear off it if you put a ring on your finger for the first time it will feel a bit tight, but give it a couple of days & it starts to bed into the finger & it no longer feels tight, same thing with the band, it has bedded into the stomach surface which will most probably have a layer of fat to sit in :shock: anyway gradually after each band fill the effects will wear off until the weightloss has reduced the outer stomach fat layer & can no longer bed in anymore, thats what they call the sweet spot & usually the band will no longer need to be filled, my package incs unlimited fills for the first 2yrs, by then I shouldn't need anymore but if I do the hospital charge around £40, I am booked in for my 2nd fill this coming monday evening, will let you know how I go :D [/QUOTE]
