When getting fills it takes time before you really start feeling the restrictions. With me it was because I had a bigger band. A friend of mine was at 5 cc's in her band and my is 10 cc's. It took about 6 or so fills for me. So don't get discourage. Also some people can loose 100 lbs in a short time others can't. My doctor said slow and steady was best and that for my first year 45lbs is what I should loose and I did. So hang in there
