I just got my 4th fill in my 11cc band yesterday. Whether I like it or not I am at 11.4 cc. I was just banded the first of October 2009 so I am a little disappointed that I am already at max. capacity (although my dr. says not to worry at this point it only takes little adjustments from here on out since it took so much for me to finally get a "restriction"). I am like you in that I didn't think I would ever get that restriction but FINALLY have it. I am at my sweet spot and some people just take more to get it. I am one that takes more. I feel like at least it is finally working for me.

I was banded with Realize - C/11cc capacity on 10-15-09 and have so far been discouraged at the fact I've only lost 4 lbs! I was filled with 6cc on first fill then 3.2cc then on December 30 I got 0.7cc bringing me to 9.9cc's. I'm scared because I only have an 11cc band. I've gone 88 days since surgery and haven't really lost anything. I do feel some restriction now but only when I eat "real" meals. I seem to be able to snack all day. Any advise or comments are greatly appreciated as I feel "un" Realized.
