Where did my restriction go?

I was banded 8/24/09. I had my first fill about 3 weeks ago and amazingly I was restricted. Really restricted. I couldn't eat much of anything for about 10 days. I was struggling getting used to it but really happy at the same time.

But over the last 10 days or so I've lost almost all of the tightness that I had. And now I'm back to almost square one. I can eat as much as I want.

I saw my Dr this morning and he gave me another 1.5 cc's but even with that I'm only a little restricted. Nothing like I was. My Dr says this is not unusual but it seems odd to me. And he didn't see any leaks.

Has anyone else had this - where you feel restricted and lose it that quickly? I did lose about 10 lbs over that time but I don't think that should have been enough to make this much of a difference.

I am happy for you that you got restriction, even for just a few days. Many ppl do not experience restriction for many many fills. Part of your restriction could have been from your stomach swelling and then shrinking. Schedule another fill as soon as your clinic allows.
Best wishes,
Mimi
