I had my third fill 2 weeks ago. At first I could barely eat anything. I was barely able to even drink. I had to sip really slowly. After week 1, it gradually eased up. If I eat to fast it will get stuck but there are No real limitations on portions or what I can eat. Does this suggest I need another fill? Or maybe I stretched my stomach area above the band? Anyone have a similar experience?

Whether or not you need a fill has nothing to do with how much you can eat. That band isn't supposed to physically stop you from eating anything. This is why it's so important to stick to band sized portions.

Are you satisfied (not full, but satisfied) on a cup or less of food for at least 4 hours? If yes, then you probably don't need a fill. If no, you might need one.

It's always best to discuss it with your doctor and let him help you decide.

It's so important that people realize the band isn't suppose to stop you from eating or keep you from eating certain foods! This could be the reason why people have complications with the band! It could easily result in someone getting overfilled and having their band slip, acid reflux, or constantly throwing up! If you don't know what the band is suppose to do it's hard to use it correctly. Please read more information on the band so you can use it to it's potential. I wish you the best!

Got nothing to add these ladies are giving you excellent advice.
