I have a 10 cc band, my surgeon told me that he never puts the full 10 cc in the band. So how much can you put in?

All the low hanging fruit is gone...

8 days post op and lapband hell!
Kai-shek replied to bigcheese's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At three weeks my hunger came back, but I counted every calorie and upped my walking, each week my calories were increasing slightly, I hung in there for another two weeks until I got my first fill. It was hard but if I can do it anyone can. Good Luck. -
Can't believe how much food people consume just because they are away from home and it's free. Feel like a non-drinker watching everyone get drunk! Don't mean to be judgemental and well aware it could be me a few weeks ago.

sorry! but i gotta another fill ? for you all
Kai-shek replied to The B's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi line-dancer did you have 6cc and then have some taken out to 4cc I am just curious a to why go from 6cc to 4cc I hope I don't sound rude. -
I had my fill on Friday last, I live six hours drive from my doc, I thought about hanging around and asked the doc, he said it wasn't necessary and he was absolutely right. If you are following the rules, you will be fine. I had all the same worries as you, but in the end it was all groundless I feel no different than before the fill, only less hungry. Good Luck I am sure you will be fine.

I had the 1st fill and thought it would be magic, I kept to the 24 hour liquid rule and I must admit I thought no difference still hungry, that was on Friday evening. Got up this morning tried to eat one egg with one toast (was easily downing that before the fill) but whoppee half way through felt full stopped eating. I'm happy it's working, thanks for all the support.

14 cc band, How many cc's do u have and have restriction?
Kai-shek replied to SaraWalk's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
First fill 3cc in a 10cc band. Doctor said you can't put 10cc in anyone know why not? I am happy at the moment but would still like to know the limit that can be put in 10cc -
Hi bubba831 I lost 8kgs (17.6lbs) from the day of my op, my fill was at five weeks and one day from surgery. Doc was pleased. It really did not hurt, I felt a slight pinch, and then I waited and doc said "your finished". Real easy, good luck with your first fill.
-
I had my first fill today 3 cc everything went very well only a small amount of discomfort. The doc said after the fill "see you in two months" I thought it would be "see you in two weeks " very worried.
-
Well I have been reading about people going back every two weeks, trying to find the green zone. I know everyone is different and you have to work at this.

Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Hang in there, at least your facing the worst and it can only get better for you. Sincerely hope your feeling much better soon. -
I was wondering why you have to eat the protein on your plate first.
