Nelly, I had surgery December 8th. Have 5.5cc in a 9cc band. I'm not at my sweet spot either. I'm STARVING (not mental, but sick feeling...stomach growling [not gurgling]) STARVING. I go tomorrow for a fill hoping for some restriction. I've lost 25lbs by pure willpower for sure. I haven't gotten stuck, slimed or vomited once since surgery. It's crazy!! I hope I'm not 'one of those' either. Keep us posted, I hope you get more restriction eventually too!

Well I am having the same problem with my band.. I have a 10cc band, I just went in for my first fill and they filled it to 3.5cc.. Which he says is alot for the first fill but I guess they do it so you dont have to come back for a while. But I am having a hard time with restriction.. It may sound wierd but i have NONE.. I know that the lapband is a tool and its just soppose to help you but I should feel a little help right? That is why we go through the surgery for a little help right? I just dont understand why i dont have that FULL feeling.. I have to rely on my own will power.. If I knew that I dont think I would have gotten the lapband to begin with. I hope that it gets better .. Im just not convinced yet..
