That is a bit strange...I have read that bands have either a 10cc capacity or a 14cc capacity. I've never heard of a 9.75cm band....maybe that is the SIZE of the band - not the saline capacity???

What brand is it? I have an Allergan AP Lap-Band which is the standard, and it has a capacity of 10cc of saline. I currently have 5.25cc in it after 5 fills and 9 months out.

Having 3.2cc in your band does not seem like alot unless it was put in at the first fill. I got 3cc at my first fill and when I went for the barium swallow (required), the radiologist told me my band was too tight and instructed me to drive back over to the surgeon's office so that they could remove some of the saline.

Everyone is different. I've read that you have to find your "Sweet Spot". I have a Realize Band and am at 6 1/2 cc after 4 months. Last month only lost 2 lbs and was hungery every 3-4 hours, so I had a 1cc fill. Now I have a lot of restriction and am not hungry in between meals. I've been told to eat only 3-4 oz of food each meal, 3 meals a day; eat protein first, vegies last. I believe I'm at that "Sweet Spot". It takes time & patience to know what amount is right for you. Good Luck!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
