Hi, Brandi! I'm almost positive my band holds 11cc. I do feel restriction, when I do eat I do eat smaller portions and I do feel full longer. I have gotten to where I can determine between mental hunger and physical hunger. I do feel my stomach grumble. My husband had the same surgery a year before I did and he got to 81/2 cc's and he said he couldn't care if he ate again. NO hunger for him. Oy! I'm just getting a bit discouraged and feeling like I'm runnin' out of time and band room. Thanks for replying, Brandi. Take care.
