Im wondering if there is anyone out there at good restriction at only 5cc... i kept reading everyone needing to get to 6-7 sometimes 9 and here i am at restriction at 5cc.. I wonder if it will stay this way?? Or will I need to get a fill at some point again....

I have had 2 fills and I am at 5.75cc You will need fills as you lose weight because the fat around your banded area will lessen allowing more space .

Everyone is different..I was at great restriction at about 6.3. Now I am about 5.5--I have restriction, but I am not super tight...I am hoping to maintain at this restriction, maybe even be able to go a little looser than this....

I guess then I am a really big freak because I had my first fill today and the doctor offered to put 4cc's in my 10cc band, but I told him I would perfer 2ccs right now because I feel restriction. I got the 2ccs and I feel as if I have restriction. I get full very easily. Let me know what you guys think.

I have around 5cc in my band. I've been at this level for over a year now.

I have an AP Standard 10cc band.

Everyone is different and the main thing is that you are happy with the fill level. If you want a bit more later on, then you can get more. If you are happy for now, stay there for a while.

With every fill that I have gotten I have felt restriction. I got my first two fills in October and November, which put me up to 2ccs. I felt good restriction so I didn't go back until last week for my third fill after I noticed I was able to eat way more than I should. The nurse said I was VERY open and put me up to 5ccs. Now my restriction is crazy tight! I am just now getting used to it today. I wasn't sure if it was too tight or I just needed to adjust to it, but I definitely don't think I will be going back for another fill until I lose another 20 lbs at least. But it is different for everyone, so you definitely shouldn't feel like a freak if you don't feel restriction. Good luck to you...you'll hit your sweet spot and when you do you'll love it! :thumbup:

I have had very tight restriction since September at 5.3cc in a 10cc band. They do include some fat under the band to help prevent erosion and I think people have different thicknesses of stomach tissue inside the band.

No I'm a freak i have 7.5ccs in an 11cc band and I still dont have the restriction I want and hear everyone talking about. I seriously want to throw up just one time - i can still eat all the foods i used to and I have never gotten sick. I have to stop on my own and its hard!

The person that does my fills compared the band and fills to jeans. When they are new they are nice and tight but as you wear them they loosen up.

I have only 3cc and have good restiction on most days. I am still able to eat more that i should sometimes and will still be hungry before my 4 hours is up. I went for a fill and i was to tight, so they removed what was put in. I guess 3cc is it for me. But I not losing any weight. I wonder WHY?

i have 5.6 on a 10 cc allergan band. And i am restricted we only adjust up or down .1 cc's if anything at all. I do go in every month so they can keep tabs on my weeight loss/restriction levels. I'm feeling a bit stalled so suspect we may up it next time. we let some out as I had gurgling and had been steadily losing 8 lbs a month. Now I am aobut 40 lbs from goal so that weight loss is getting tougher.

I got banded last Aug. and only since the end of January have I finally felt restriction. I have 7.4 cc in my 14cc band. Up until then I was able to eat most anything, now I'm lucky if I can eat a 1/2 cup of food!

I'm at 4.2 ccs in a 14 cc band and I have pretty good restriction right now. Let's hear it for the freaks LOL
