I was banded 3 months ago and have only one fill, 3 cc's in a 14 cc band. I have to admitt that I don't have a lot of restriction, but I do have some. Enough to keep me loosing for the moment. If my family has pizza, I can eat one piece. Where before it would have been 3 pieces. The most I normally eat is one cup of food. If I go over this I will have some difficulties. At times I feel I want a fill so my weight loss will speed up, but I'll then remind myself that things are going great and I'm still loosing. I'm going to save my fills until the weight loss slows way up. Also, the clinic where I have my fills won't give fills if you loose over 2 pounds per week on the average. So I couldn't get one if even if I wanted.
