Very confused about lapband and reason for it

I am 6 weeks post op feeling no restriction. Why did I get this surgery when everyone on this forum talks about losing all this weight without fills. Most of you are saying its not the band. Then why would you or I have gotten it to just be on a diet. I can diet without band. I am regretting my decision

    Also I have a 14cc band with 3 cc in. My surgeon puts the largest in so I imagine this wil take me longer

    Don't think the size matters or affects the fills.

    Size of band and how many CCs are in it have nothing to do with restriction and getting to the green zone. Everyone's stomach is shaped differently and has a different thickness. Also, not all surgeons place the band in the same spot. You might find your green Zone with just one or two fills.
