flower, what size is your band and how much fill do you have so far? Who is giving you pressure? Your band is supposed to work it's best when you are properly filled. Sometimes it takes several fills before you get there. Don't go it alone if you don't have to. Get a third fill! You might just need the littlest bit more to make a big difference.

Hey! It did take me three fills to feel restriction. Look at my signature below and I have my fill history. I put it in my signature for bandsters like you who are frustrated after two fills. I was frustrated after two fills!

I was filled at 6 weeks & it has worked perfectly!! I am losing weight steadily & have the perfect fill. Dr. Rodriguez hit the sweet spot the first time!!

It is diffrent for everyone... On my 2nd fill that was done on a Friday.. I felt tight at the time.. come Sunday.. I was eating more then anyone else.. I got filled again.. thanks to my wonderful Dr. who met with me on a Sunday... so im on my 3rd fill and it worked for a while, now i eat and eat and eat.... Sometimes it take 1 fill... 2 fills... even 4 fills to hit the sweet spot.. you will get there.. no hurry take your time and stay healthy okay...

My fill history is also on my signature. 1st fill 1cc - nothing. 2nd fill another 1cc - grrrr - too tight!!! Unfill of .5cc for a total of 1.5cc in a 4cc band - a little but not quite there. I'm going to wait a few weeks before attempting another fill - think I'll ask him for .3 as with 2cc I was too tight, but not extremely tight. Haven't hit the sweet spot yet, but at least I know my band works after being too tight and my sweet spot is somewhere between 1.5 and 2cc's.
