I was banded 12-26-07. I have had 4 fills. I cancelled and rescheduled my next one because I think I may have gotten to that sweet spot.I had very little restriction all the way up to my last fill. At that point I had a total of 6.5cc in my 10cc band. This last time (@ 7 weeks ago) he only added .5cc(Total 7cc.) I did not know if I was going to be able to handle that last fill. It took a good 3-4 weeks before I could anything thicker than a smoothie to go down. I am actually going to ask if he will remove half of the last half he added. I am very tight in the morning which makes it hard to get in all the vitamins and nutrients in the rest of the day.I guess it is different for each person. These little problems would still not prevent me from doing it again. I have 76 good reasons to keep going as I am. GOOD LUCK to ALL!!!!
