my surgery will be at the end of the month and i'm nervous about the fills. my biggest fear is that it will take many (discouraging) months before i feel any restriction.

i know everyone is different, but i'm wondering how long it took some of you to find your "sweet spot"? does band size matter? pre-surgery bmi/weight make a difference? are there any tips to help get in that green zone easier/quicker?

Had my 5th fill yesterday, I have 9cc in an 11cc band. I think I may have reached my spot. but I tend to decrease swelling after 2 weeks. I'll keep u posted if the restriction goes away again. UGH!My doc is filling at .5cc at a time now. He said I should be there soon.

I had my 6th fill this week -- and I am almost 9 months POST-OP.....not at my sweet spot yet............. :biggrin:

I am getting .25cc on my fills now ---- geeze!!
