Going for my 3rd fill today!
I am praying I find that restrictive sweet spot this time!
So far I have 6cc's in my 11cc band.
I'm going to ask them to filler up!!
I'd like to go 1 1/2cc's...I'm ready!!
How about the rest of you....how much did it take you to find that sweet spot?
Happy New Year fellow Bandsters!

I've had some heartburn issues so we're putting another fill off until the middle of January. I don't think I've hit my sweet spot yet. I can still fit more than 1 cup of food but it also depends what type of food I eat. It's a journey, but one well worth walking. I put on a size 12 pair of jeans yesterday

The Dr. told me that was pretty agressive and that he was sure I would have restriction.
I guess I will find out in the next couple of days how it turns out.
Good Luck to everyone. Boo....here's hoping our 3rd'**** the sweet spot.

Hi Wendy,
I got my fill yesterday and we went to 8cc's. I just got back from lunch...my first real food since the fill and I can honestly say I am feeling restriction. Hoorah!!!
The PA who did my fill yesterday told me that this was quite agressive but I talked him into it. I hope the restriction stays...I hear that sometimes it will fade after a couple of days.
I'm so happy to finally feel it.
