:help:I had surgery May 22nd of this year. Since my 6 week post-op I have had 7 fills. My band is at 9cc's now and I still don't think it is as tight as it should be. I was told the band can be filled up to 10cc's...I'm afraid I will never get the restriction I am suppose to have and if I do my band will end up being completely full. I am very discouraged right now and wonder if I have made a mistake by having this procedure. What makes matters worse is I am a self pay patient. Therefore, I have paid for everything out of my own pocket. Does anyone have any suggestions or is their anyone else that has had or is having the same problem?

Thanks for sharing that info. I went to see my doctor on Monday and he took all the saline out and made sure all the air was out and put 8 or 8 1/2 cc's back in and it is definately tight now. He did have an x-ray taken to make sure I wasn't experiancing esophageal dialation. Just had that x-ray done this morning and everything looks good. As a matter of fact the radiologist said I might need my band loosened up a little. At last it is finally tight!!!
