Finally there

So, I had my 4th or 5th (can't remember) fill last Thur. He gave me 1cc b/c i haven't noticed much difference the past few times. Well I think I am at the spot I have heard so many talk about. I am definately limited on my intake and I am now unable to drink when I eat. I am having a lot of "stuck" items. So is this what they call the sweet spot?:confused2:

"A lot of stuck" is NOT sweet IMHO....

although that is on the path TO the Sweet Spot....

I believe most of us seem to need the Harsh Edges of Reality to bruise our stubborn natures a bit, before we can actually SEE and FEEL what 'Sweet Spot' actually means....

And MY interpretation is rather like a comfortable old lounge chair or pair of boots....we KNOW there's a few issues but nothing else fits so well...

I had to retreat a few tenths of ccs of fill a few times before I learned to recognize SWEET....and I suspect that Spot is somewhat movable itself....depending on a few variables....

Jack - Thanks for the good explanation. I am in the same boat as Saint. Got a fill on Friday and am getting stuck a lot. As a "newish" banded person (10/07) who has only had 2 fills, I am not sure how I am supposed to feel. But common sense tells me not being able to eat more than 2 bites of anything without it making a repeat appearance is probably not how the band is meant to work. Guess I gotta get some taken out. (heavy sigh)
