Hi I'v been banded since 2006 and still haven't found restriction also only briefly experiencing it after a large fill.
I'm at 10ml in a 11ml band but seem to be the opposite to you as I can eat Pasta and such but not bread.
I have not lost any weight for months just stayed the same weight. I am so fed up at present with this situation and dont know if it would be wise to get a fill - will be up to my limit if i do.
