got behind on sweet spot?

I was curious if anyone else was at their sweet spot, but then seem to lose it. I currently have 2.75 cc in a 4cc band. I hit my sweet spot in May 05 with my 3rd fill and had another fill in July 05. The July 05 fill was too much and had that fill taken out during x-ray drinking barium (fluro?) due to lots of acid reflux. After the last fill was removed i could tell it was loser than i prefered, but i was able to lose weight so i stuck with it. My last fill brought me to 2.75cc was on 12/8 and i was really looking forward to restriction, but never got the restriction. After the 12/8 fill i could feel liquid gurgle through which is usually a sign of restriction, but it didn't seem to carry over to solid food. Has anyone else had a fill that never really kicked in? I know the first couple of fills may be that way, but by now i would think every little bit should make a big diference. I have another fill scheduled for 1/19 so maybe that will do it. BTW, i have not been drinking w/ meals and have been eating the right foods - lots of solid protien. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading!!!

my fill guy explained that if you lose fat around the band area, you will get looser. he also told me that even though I haven't lost weight, he can tell I am losing the fat around my port. It projects out and is much easier to access.

maybe something like that is happening with you...

Thanks Road Queen - I have noticed the scale hasn't been moving much lately, but i have dropped in clothing sizes, so that may be it.
