i had my first fill on jan 4 .5cc in a 4cc band and i do feel some restriction but if i eat a little to much or a little to fast my stomach feels really tight like its going to burst. is that the band that i feel. it really scared me when it happened to me once because i dont want anything bad to happen so now i am really cautious of how much i eat. i usually stick to the recommended amount but sometimes i think i eat a little more because ill eat something and wait a few minutes and then if im still hungry ill eat some more and thats when i eat to much and feel to full.

That's where the learning curve comes in to play here. It took me MONTHS to figure out how to stop just short of being miserable. Some people get wonderful little physical "soft stop" indicators...like a runny nose, the hiccups, sneezing, etc. that they can learn to watch for. I haven't noticed any for myself. But one thing you can do is try to keep your meals kindof quiet initially. I live alone, so it's easy for me to sit with my food, without any distraction and really FEEL how it is going down. You're gonna have to learn to read some REALLY subtle signals that your body will give off telling you it's full.
