What size is your band? I have 4.5 ccs (mls) and no restriction to speak of but have a 14 cc band.

You're saying you had 2 ccs put in in dec and then Jan they said your band was empty and put in 5? Where did that first 2 cc's go? What did the UK surgeon say?

Depending on responsive and helpful he/she was when you went in for your fill, I'd call and ask if they thought I might have a leak. It wouldn't necessarily show up on an x-ray.
