I have had 3 fills and I have reached my sweet spot. I get things stuck especially in the morning or if I have waited to long to eat. I used to be an emotional eater and now that is not the case sometimes I feel like I forget about eating.. Life is so much better now.

I had my band now for 8 weeks. I had my first fill a month ago. 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. i have lost a total post op of 30 pounds. I feel great and i must admit I even look greaLOL!! My only problem is that I have not had anymore fills. I have been to my doctor twice and he will not give me a fill because he said that I am loosing 2 plus pounds a week so i must have restriction. He said that he will only fill me if I go a week and not loose a pound. I must admit that I do think I have restriction but I just feel like I could lookse allot quicker with another fill. I have never gotten stuck on anything so I feel that I could be a little tighter. Am i correct does great restriction mean that you get stuck on certain foods? My doctor also said that it is possible that some people reach their sweet spot only after maybe 1 or 2 fills. is that possible? He says I am loosing @ a great pace and if it aint broke then dont fix it. BUT I WANT A FILL!!!! So has anyone reached their sweet spot only after a few fills?

I have not had any fills yet, but losing 1.5 - 2.5 pounds a week. I feel restriction after eating certain foods, and if I eat too fast I upchuck. But I had pizza at work the other day and didn't feel any restriction, so I am thinking of asking for a fill today at my appt. I guess it depends on how well you are doing. Some folks need more restriction as a reminder not to eat so much. You apparently are doing wonderfully where you are. More than 2 lbs a week is not really healthy.
