See if your doctor will do the x-rays with you when you are getting your fill. You should be able to stay full for quite a while. The size oh my hole between pouch and stomach is a little smaller that a quarter. I've seen people who didn't feel restriction until they had their 7th fill. If you do an x-ray, you'll have better luck finding your sweet spot.

REMEMBER there are ways to eat around your band. If you are not eating correctly and exercising the weight will not come off. Its plain and simple.

Just keep your chin up and don't let yourself get discouraged. You have taken the right step and just need to get a little more help. :]

What everyone here said is true. What are you eating? You should journal how much you are eating everyday.

Some times it takes a while to hit the sweet spot, but until then it is a smart idea to journal everything you eat...this makes you much more aware of what you are eating. Sometimes we forget and we just don't have an accurate account of what we are eating until we get it down in black and white. You need to contact your doctor for another fill if you don't feel restriction. My experience was I eventually felt restriction and I have felt restriction ever since.....and that has been over a year. Keep us posted and pay close attention to yourself.
