  1. I have 5cc in a 11cc band. It's pretty tight and I get stuck easily. I don't want to have it unfilled just because I have lost 7lbs in 6 days and finally feel a good restriction. I can't believe so many people have such big fills. My doc only puts maybe .5 to maybe 3/4 cc at a time. I couldn't ever get more. I didnt' feel much till this time but in the morning I have a hard time getting even liquid down. Sometimes I think it's too tight but other times I think its my sweet spot.
  2. So I just got filled to 5cc in a 11cc lapband. I am having this problem of wondering if my food is in my pouch or my lower stomach. If i take too big of a bite I have pretty bad discomfort and then I feel a dumping feeling. My doc says it's my food entering my pouch not my stomach. I don't know but don't like the feeling. I always think it's my food squeezing through my pouch my am told it's not that. Anyone have any advice?
