it will take several fills to get the right restriction.  I'm sure you've read that in the band forums here.  Your experience is totally normal.  And yes, everyone is completely frustrated by it.  Here you have had this surgery, and it's not helping.

Keep on dieting.  It's important to control your portion sizes so you don't put too much strain on your band while it's still healing.  It's usually the 3rd fill that gives good restriction.  Hang in there.
