I recently got my first fill. I had to go in three times to get it to where i felt some type of restriction. Ive only got 2.5 cc in but it feel like foods stay in the pouch for about a 10-15 mins. Im sure it feels longer with a bigger fill. Im alittle concerned on why your not restricted. Have you had a Barium fill to see if your band is defective or if it has slipped???

Does anyone know the real reason why we shouldnt drink liquids while we eat? I think the reason is because it holds more food in the upper pouch, which i guess can cause it to strech or slip....but a U.S. doctor that did my 1st fill said that "if you drink the food passes thru, making you hungry faster". Wouldnt that help me loose more weight because it passes thru quicker therefore not absorbing as much FAT. I dont know about you guys, but I HAVE to eat and drink at the same time. Ive gotten down to one glass of tea with my meals instead of three. Im hoping some one has an answer to this question.......thanks TAJ
