Hi . I get it. I cant seem to find the right amount of fill either. Since Ive had the band Ive had 2 post surgereies for a dislodged fill tube and then for a flipped port. Now i cant get to the point where the band helps me say no more. I dont know why. i jnow the feeling becuase it was there before I had troubles. I feel frustrated. HAve your Doctor check the amt. of fluid in the band by removing it. Also,it is true that as you get to the higher amts. you only need a drup of feill to feel the effect. Good luck
