hi everyone. i have a question...i have a band that holds up to 10cc's..and right now i have my band filled to 8.9cc's. when i had my band filled with less cc's, i was hungry still during meals but i had a regular size portion meal..and now i can eat a lot more than what i can. i can fit a whole 6inch hero from subway in my stomach. and before that i could only eat half. i don't know what is going on. i went to go see my doctor today but she told me that i don't need a fill cause i lost 7 1/2lbs in a month. so she didn't give me a fill, but i told her that i was still hungry but she said that i am doing good and to just hold off for another fill in 3 weeks. i don't think my band slipped but i think it moved like its not on all the way that its not properly on. can this happen? to me it doesn't make any sense that i can eat a lot with 8.9cc's in my 10cc band. is this normal? i feel like calling up my doctor and asking her if i can get an esogram done ..lol i dunno how to spell it... so i can make sure everything is ok with my band. i am really nervous about this. i hope nothing is wrong. did or does anyone have the same problem? please give me some advice. thanks everyone and thanks for taking the time to read my thread. take care.

Everyone needs a different amount to feel restriction. A friend of mine with a 10cc band insists on at least 9.5cc of fill, because anything less and she doesn't feel restriction. Others have restriction with a lot less. Am I understanding your question correctly?
