Wow 4 ccs to start? I think my doc began at 2.5 ccs, I also have a 4cc band. The first fill I did feel a little restriction for awhile but it did wear off. I'm at 6.6 now - took from Feb to October to build to that, and feel great restriction...each time it would feel restriction, then I would loosen up, and he gave me small increments, like .1cc or .2 at a time.

My doctor gave me that large LapBand too. I have my first follow-up tomorrow, and would like to find out why he chose that one. I had my surgery last Monday. I am on a liquid diet and I am hungry. I have no restriction and can take in liquids the same as before my surgery. (I still sip, but sometimes I forget).

My first fill should occur in about 5 weeks.
