Takes Time for a Fill to Kick in??

I had my first fill on Wednesday of last week and feel no restriction or any different.  I hear some people say it takes a few days for their fill to kick in.  Is this true?  If so, how come it takes a few days - is there a medical explanation??

 Ive heard that also. I havent experienced it myself but Ive seen many discuss it. Im not sure what the physics behind it may be but its pretty interesting.

It took a few fills before I felt restrcition (I initially had a food stick that caused me an unfill and I had issues with no restriction since) Im feeling it somewhat now. So try to be patient even though its hard. Some days I was so frustrated. 

Thanks for responding.  I had 3cc put in and the Dr. said she didn't feel like this would be the stopping point for me.  It is frustration but I will succeed is my motto!

Thanks again.

Can't tell ya why it takes time for them to kick in because mine never did, I always felt mine right away once I felt some restriction. You will probably need several fills before you actually feel a difference so don't worry about not feeling it this time. It will come tho!

Thanks for the response!  I'm trying to be patient. and work the program.  Very cute puppy by the way :-)

I was told that it could take from a few days to 3 weeks sometimes. I had one that went a full 2 weeks after the liquids. No one knows why but it happens. Good luck and hang in there.

 was told up to 10 days

I've had many a fill not kick in until weeks.  Just recently I had a fill and could eat fine.  Fast forward three weeks later, I could no longer eat any meat or eat any foods I ate on a regular basis.

I went back and had a slight unfill.....fine now.(could probably be a tad tighter though)

I don't have info on a fill taking a while to kick in but I do know about the first couple not feeling any different.  I had my surgery in December, first fill Jan 5th, second Feb 5th, Third Feb 28th.  I didn't have much weight loss and didn't feel restriction until my third fill.  Then it was really the fourth fill that gave me good restriction.  I was basically going by the diet and fear of damaging anything!  Hang in there.  I reached out here when I was frustrated.  Maybe it will take a couple of fills.  And, I have learned that my band changes from day to day.  And, I will say that my last fill was a little much for a couple of weeks but I guess the inflamation went down because it's at a good place now.   Bands are crazy!  :-)
