my dr. told me that your sweet spot is that perfect fill when you know that your band is tight enough for you to lose at a very steady pace. so when you hit that sweet spot you will know.

i don't know if your dr. has told you this, but mine says to come back every two weeks if you don't lose 2 lbs. per week. i have been trying to do that faithfully since i had my surgery in june (fills that is). i have only lost about 34lbs in 5 months and i haven't done much exercise, but i have never gained a pound since i've had the surgery. i'm losing very slowly but i keep going every two weeks for fills til i get it right. i've had 5 fills (4.5cc) and don't feel quite the tightness i know it could. with each one i do notice a difference and i think i'm getting very close. i hope that they don't find that there is something wrong with yours and you end up having to take it out or repairing it, because my advice to you is to hang in there and try the way my drs. have told his patients to do. good luck!! i hope i have a help for you!!!

Hi Amy!! I met someone at Walt Disney World in Aug., from Perth, Western Australia. Would that happen to be you.

Hello! This is my first time writing in. I was banded on 6/15/07 in Cinn, OH by Dr. Osboure. My current weight loss is 31 lbs. I have about 4.5cc in a 10cc band. I've had 4 fills and feeling pretty good. I'm wondering if there is anybody out there that can still eat alot on that much of a fill. I guess my question is that, when will I feel that fullness or tightness feeling, because I have been at a stand still for about a mouth now? I'm not losing that 2 lbs a week thing. What I'm I doing wrong?
