Anyone else near the top end of what their band will hold?

I just had my 4th (or 5th) fill this past Tuesday, they did this one under fluro and the doctor said I have about 1/2 to 1cc left to fill and then it's full. She noticed that my pouch was small, so thats good news.
Seeing the Barium go down fairly easily after the fill made me feel both good and bad. Good that we could to see the small pouch and bad because there was not much restriction (I know it was just fluid)
I'm on mushy/easy foods for today, so we'll see how full I feel this weekend with real food.
Anyone near the top end of what their band will hold with not much restriction at all??
I haven't had anything get stuck, nothing has come back up either. I am very pleased that the PA has gone slow with this but I have been losing the same 5 lbs over and over again for the past 6 weeks.
