they say everyone is different. I think that each fill is different too. I have felt restriction immediately and then not at all until several weeks later. Normally, I determin when I need a fill between a notice in inchs lost and an increase of food intake. In a 10 cc band i am currently at 5 cc's and a loss of 70 lbs. try going back to your liquid protiens to help with the weight loss. and call your doctor if still no change is seen.

I am having a similar situation. I am currently 70 pounds down and still wearing the same pants. I started exercising (walking and some light weights) but the difference was not very big. Most of my weight has been to my upper body (face, neck and chest) area and some in my lower (hips, legs and butt). Tried talking to doctor about it, but couldn't get a real answer from him.
