Dont be worried at all, it is very normal, you might not notice any restriction until after your 3rd or 4th fill. Im about 5.4 in a 10cc band, I have good restriction but it is different for everyone.

I go Friday i have little restriction with 3cc in my 10 cc ban , good luck to you

ya, don't worry. It just takes time. Make healthy choices!

Congrats on your banding.... Good Luck!

I went through the same feelings thinking maybe I am one of those people who this just won't work for- BUT my last fill put those fears to rest! I have 4.5 in a 10cc band and it makes all the difference in the world!! Once you are properly filled you will feel completely different. I simply can not eat anywhere near what I use to eat. Even if I really want to eat by band prevents me from doing so.

It can take a while though-that's something I didn't realize before being banded. I thought the weight would simply just drop off each month and quickly. You will absolutely get there and then you'll have an entire new set of worries like: If I eat this will I get stuck, am I getting enough proteins/water in?

Hang in there-your next fill should get you a lot closer to your sweet spot!

it took me 4 fills to actually get restriction, 5 to get good restriction and to get in the green zone, or the sweet spot as my doctor calls it.

I have 2.8 cc in my band right now & I can sill eat normal sometimes I've only had one stuck episode. I go back on the 11th to get another fill. I still eating a lot less then I would when I did have the band and thats the reason we got it in the first place. It's okay.

Same thing here, but it didn't take more than 2 fills for me to notice a HUGE difference. I had a 2 cc fill, then I had another 2 cc's and it was all I needed to know there was something in there! Good luck on your fill, hopefully it will give you some help!
