7.5cc's and still no restriction!

How is it possible to have 7.5ccs in my 12cc band, and still have very little restriction? Could my band be leaking? or is my surgeon missing the port and just injecting into my stomach? im confused and a little discouraged that ive only lost 9 lbs since Nov3rd (preop diet) I havent started exercising just yet because of port soreness. Anyone else have this problem?

:(
