3.25 in a 4

I went in for my second fill today and I told them to "filler up!" So, they put another 1.75 in my already 1.5 making it 3.25.........should this be a good fill?

3 in a 4 is too much for me. I'm at 2.75 and this is as close to a sweet spot as I'm going to get. So yeah - 3.25 could most definitely be enough for restriction.

I thought my surgeon was agressive with his 0.5 - 1.0 cc fills. WOW. 1.75 at a time, in a 4cc band? Do be careful when you resume eating. Having THAT much fill at once can easily push you into "overfilled."

I was happy to hear the amount you got. I have a 4 cc band, and my first fill was 2cc. I am considering a small fill. But I want to wait a month. It's all good.

I've got 3 and it took me 6 or 7 fills to get there.

Its as good as its going to get for me too. I'm a long way from that typical "sweet spot" description, but then I never ever want to be that tight anyway, sweet spot to me sounds like torture.

I eat about a cup of food at a time, but more often these days since I went from 2.8 to 3 I can block up or have a tiny PB, especially in the morning.

and I came in from a run the other night and threw down a handful of macadamia nuts and a huge glass of Water, my body let me no in no uncertain terms that I cannot eat and gulp anymore, that was ugly but thankfully instant.

3 in a 4 is perfect. I can eat and enjoy eating and even indulge a little but not much.

I was recently put to 3.2. And yes this seems perfect. I don't think I can go any tighter, but you see in other threads that everyone is different.

I read somewhere that restriction really gets serious at 3.0 and that any fill after will be a small fill.

I am a bit surprised that your doc put you up 1.75 in one fill. Seems like a lot to me. But everyone is different.

Let us know how it is going.
