I am in the same place you are. I finally feel like I have hit a good restriction but I think I need a little more. When I go back to the dr. next week I will have to see how much weight i have lost cause they might not allow me to get another fill right now.

The feeling that you are having in your chest is actually your stomach. It feels like it is almost in your throat. the pain in your chest is what you will get if you eat the wrong things and it doesnt go down. I thought it was weird also where I would get pain but thats what the dr. told me. Do not get worried about not having much restriction at first. I had my surgery on Dec.17 2008 and I am just now having some restriction. You will do great!

I have had 5 fills and have about 10cc in my band. I still have very little restriction. I go back in 2 weeks, but I fear that it will take 14cc to fill me up. I am glad to see that there are other people out there that have the same kind of problem. I want to only be able to eat a little bit and feel the restriction. Thanks guys for making me feel like I am not a failure.
