I just had my first fill on Saturday 12/12/2009, and for the first 2 days had some restriction. I now am 3 days out and can eat anything and have NO restriction. I have a 4 cc band capacity and I was given 2 cc's. I guess I expect more out of this because everything I have put into it. Please help me with some encouragement. I have heard it takes a few adjustments to get an adaquete fill level, but would really love to get this band working and losing weight. Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

It will come , I did not my major restriction till my 3rd fill. I at at 6.25 cc's in a 10 cc band. I am good now i go for another fill on jan.18th. you are in what is called bandster hell, It is not pleasant but it will pass, hope this helps.

Thank you! I have been consuming large amounts of food. As if I didn't have the fill. I really want this to happen. Can't wait to see the difference in the 2nd fill. And I hope I won't be saying this after that fill. Guess I will have to wait another month.

Hi, I just had my 4th fill. I have 8.5cc in an 11cc band. I had great restriction on my last fill (DEC 9.2009) for 4 days then it went away. This fill 12/30/09 .5cc. I don't feel the tightness soon like I did last time but I can go longer between meals. I think I'm getting close to the sweet spot. I've read most people don't reach their sweet spot until the 4-5 fill. I try to get my fills every 3 weeks b/c I hated bandster hell. Do your best it will come. Barb
