Anyone with a 4cc band? Please help
weightwatcher posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a little depressed because I just found out that my band only holds 4ccs. I guess I am depressed because after reading all of the wonderful threads and finding out how many ccs others have, I am concerned because I had my first fill last week. I received 2ccs and I feel little to no restriction. Will someone with a 4cc band please tell me when I can expect some restriction or how was your experience. I have scheduled an appointment with fill center usa for the end of the month in Roswell, GA. I am hoping to leave with atl least 3cc to 3.5ccs in my band. Hopefully, this thing will work for me. I pray it does. :wink2: -

4 months is a very long time. I have an appointment with Fill Center USA in Roswell, GA. Those doctors will fill you every 4 weeks. You may want to log on to their site and find a doctor near you. However, this will proably make your own doctor upset. -

Thank you so much for the response. I checked and rechecked. I have a 10cm band that holds a max of 4ccs. I just hope that I can get some restriction. -
I was discouraged to find out that I have a 4cc band. I guess because after reading all of the threads I am hearing about people with 10cc bands and having an average of 6cc and 7.5ccs. I got my first fill on last week. I got 2ccs. I feel very little restriction. Is this normal considering I only have a 4cc band? When can I expect a restriction? I have scheduled an appointment with fill center usa in Roswell, GA. I am hoping and praying that I can get up to at least 3.5. I really hope this thing works for me. :wink2:

I am so thank ful for this thread and this site. I just got my first fill last week. I was so depressed becaused I did not feel the restriction I had hoped for. They put in 2.6cc's. I was begging for more. I am a self payer and had my surgery in Mexico. It cost a lot of money for me to go back just for a fill. I wanted to go back for my first fill at least. Now that I have spent the last hour reading all of the threads, I feel so much better. I am going to call Fill Center USA to schedule my next fill. I hope I can get a good one so that I can get restricted. Thank you all!!!!!!!
