10 cc band. My third fill got me to 5 cc's and I finally felt restriction (was pretty tight and I liked it !). That was about 5 weeks ago - when I went last week for my monthly check-in, they did not give me a fill because I had lost almost 10 lbs since last fill, and still had some restriction. It definitely "loosens up" over time and now I definitely have less restriction, but it is ok. I go for a barium swallow at the end of the month - normally, my fills are just done in my doctors office. They said they routinely do a barium swallow at around 6 months just to see how everything is doing...

I have had 3 fills for a total of 3ccs in a 10 cc band. I have great restriction. I am scheduled for another fill the end of this month but I may cancel that appoinment because I don't want to be much tighter than I am right now.
