Hi Diva, I'm not a May Bandster - but thought I'd jump in here (sorry for hijacking the thread).

I have a 10 cc band and I'm at my sweet spot at 6.__ I'm not sure the last because I told my nurse not to tell me. Don't overanalyze how much is in your band. Everyone reaches their sweet spot at different levels. Some it takes one to two fills, others many more.

It depends on your internal makeup. If you have more fat around your stomach, then as you lose weight you may have to get more fills than someone that is leaner in that area. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You may also reach your sweet spot and after a couple of months need another (albiet small fill).

Hang in there and if you think you need another fill - contact your doctor or fill center.
