  1. Hi everyone. I am from S.C. I was banded May the 5th of 07.. Can't believe it has been this long.. I have lost about 60 pounds. I haven't lost any in about last three months. I had been having trouble with stomach or what I thought was band, did doc took a look in stomach and said band was fine. I can't seem to get my band in the sweet spot.. If i get just a little to tight I hurt really bad when i eat. hurt high up.. feels it gets stuck right at bottom of thoart.. so i'm still playing around with it.. If anyone has had this before pleasae help... thanks a lot you all..
  2. Hi Jacbro, I was banded first of March and have had 3 fills and never felt any restriction with any of them. I go back in next week for another fill. He put 1cc in each time he did a fill. I have a 10cc band and I have heard it sometimes takes more to get good restriction on the bigger bands. I am so ready to get some good restiction. I ask my doc about a leak and he assured me I didn't have a leak.. good luck
