No Restriction From Lap Band

I had lapband surgery October 2010, since then I've only lost 28lbs and have had 9 fills. After each fill I had no restriction at all. I complained to the dr in September and he suggested I have an upper GI done so he could check the band position. I completed that and he said it looked like I could go for one more fill, I did on December 5th and that was my eighth. Still no restriction so he suggested I have another fill that he would perform under fluoroscopy so he could see when the band was full. Well I did that on yesterday making it my ninth fill and still nothing. He told me that I would probably only be able to do liquids after that but I was able to eat two regular size bowls of cheering the same night, and today I ate a salad for lunch and two hot dogs for dinner, probably could've ate three. I feel like I'm kind of full after eating but about ten minutes later I'm hungry again and getting hunger pains. Any suggestions?!
