How many cc's before you reached your sweet spot?

[DottieAnn 0]

I had my first fill today, he said normally he would only add 1/2 cc but since my weight loss is not very good, he added a full cc. I had 1.5 in there from the surgery so I now have 2.5 cc total. I really don't notice a huge difference, I have a 10cc band. Just wondering what everyone's different fill amounts are that are working. I can't get another fill for a month, at which point he will only add 1/2-1 cc again. How much does everyone have in their bands?

I just posted about this today.

I got my first fill this morning. I got 7ccs in a 11cc band. My doctor tried to put in 8ccs but I couldn't get Water down. Now I'm feeling restriction! Back in 2 weeks to check that everything is okay and maybe another fill.

I have 8.5 in a 10cc band and about 3-4 hours after I eat I am hungry. It's like there is a big hole inside of me and it is so empty, I must get food in it now or I will die. So I go Tuesday for another .5 and we will see if that helps. I want to try and wait 5-6 hours inbetween meals.

I have 3.6 ccs in a 10 cc band and I have almost perfect restriction. Quantitiy wise of food I can eat 10-12 ounces.. so I know I need a little more in my fill but overall it's good

I just got my 2nd fill, now have 5 cc's in my 10 cc band. And honestly, I'm hungrier now than I was before my fill. So I go back in 3 weeks and we'll see then!!

I have an 11 cc band. My first fill was 4.5 cc, and I got perceived no real restriction. It took another handful of fills (I think I've had 5) before I felt much. My last 2 fills have taken me to somewhere in the vicinity of 9-9.5 cc (I forgot to ask this last time), and I now have restriction that is right on target. I lost 15 pounds last month, and seem to be on the same trajectory with the level of restriction I now have.

Love the band!

I have 5.25 in my 10cc band. I am close but not quite there. at 5.5 it was too much and I couldn't even keep Water down. When I go in two weeks I have to decide if I want anohter fill or to just leave it alone. The appointment is on the 21st and I leave for vacation on Saturday the 24th so I am worried about having too much restriction and not being close to home.

I have only had my band 10 days. I have a 10cc Band which was filled 2cc the day of surgery. The first 4 days, while I was still swollen, were sweet because I had NO hunger. Now I am getting pretty hungry, but I am still on the liquids. Saw my Dr. today for the first time since surgery. He says 1 more week of liquids and come back and see him in three weeks. I see him again 7/30........sure hope I am getting another fill then!!

I had 8cc in my 14cc band before I felt any restriction. Even then, I was still hungry in between meals but couldn't physically eat any more to satiate the hunger. After a month and a half with the 8cc, my doctor took me to 9cc...bloody hell! I starved for a month while on vacation, PBing every food I ate and barely being able to drink liquids without some chest pain. I went back to the doctor as soon as I returned from vacation a few days ago and got unfilled back to 8cc. For now? It's AMAZING being able to eat oatmeal again, and I'll see how it goes...if the hunger returns, I may go up to 8.5cc...but 9cc was a killer! Just be careful what you wish for

thanks y'all..this has helped me alot...I believe I'm one of those people that will require a tighter fill than some..I have been very depressed over my lack of weight loss and need to eat...and my ability to eat amounts of food that I felt were too large..I am going tomorrow to get a fill and hopefully things will get better! thanks for the feedback!
