This may sound crazy but I had a band and plication on 12/30 with starting weight of 268 and I started getting fills in March. I had lost about 28 then. I am down to 227 and I have 6 1/2 cc in a 14 cc band. I still don't have a lot of restriction and my weight loss in the last month or so is none or very little, but for some reason I feel guilty like maybe I am just pigging out because I don't feel resistriction. I am eating between 1250-1350 calories a day and to this day I have NEVER had a problem of any kind! I am grateful for that. Is it nuts that in my mind I figure if I haven't hit my sweet spot by now I must be doing something wrong????? Do most people have more than 6 or 7 CC's in their bands???
