Question:
when do you know your band is filled to where it should be for proper weight loss?

i had lapband surgery april 28th 2009 and i am down only 40 lbs i work out everyday and hour a day not walking but cardio kickboxing and the like, the 1st 2 months i had no restriction, i now have 5 mls in the band and have better restriction, although still maintaining or losing a couple lbs in 2 weeks, what do i need to get over the plateau and do i need more restriction sometimes i can eat over a cup other times 2 bites its confusing as to what i can eat.    — lana C.

How much does your band hold if completely filled? You may need another fill to get you over this hump. I have a 4 cc Inamed band and am filled to 3.1 cc's and it is perfect for me. Check with your doc to see what the thinks. HTH, Trish
