Band fill after oesophagus dilation

I had dilated oesophagus in June and they emptied band in July. About 4mls was taken out. Band has to be empty until December. Just wondering... doctor said that no more than 3ml at maximum can be added back as the problem might come back. Is it true do you think? Will it be enough?

    Should start with 3 since 4 mls is too much, then do small 0.2ml increments till you hit your green zone.
