I have the larger band which I was told holds 10cc. My first 3 fills were 2 cc each and my last 2 were 0.5 cc for a total of 7 cc. I felt no restriction until after the third fill and that was only after taking a too big first bite. If I take small bites, chew each 25 times and take a pause between bites, I never feel full and remain hungry. I could continue eating and have to pre-portion everything but tend to snack between meals. So I am not sure if I need more fill or not. Mr. surgeon says that you don't realy want to feel the restriction (very uncomfortable) but only to feel full after eating about 5 oz of solid food. However, I don't get this full satisfied feeling. Do any of you get a full satisfied feeling on 5 oz of solid food?
