How much in 11cc before restriction

how much in your 11cc band before you hit sweet spot. I am at 8.5 and not there yet just wondering about others.

I was about to ask the same question!

I have an 11cc band. Was at 10ccs and thought I'd found restriction, however that lasted about a week and I fell off the wagon and was able to eat more than I should. I had some restriction but felt I wasn't there yet.

I had another fill last night to take me to 11ccs. I asked my doctor about what happens if I don't get restriction at 11ccs and he said that he would keep filling until I did. He has one patient with 18ccs in her 11cc band!

So sorry I don't have an answer and I think everyone is different but 10ccs wasn't enough for me!

This is so, so variable. At about 8.5 cc, I started feeling some restriction. But it's taken me 3 fills on top of that to hit what I think is my sweet spot. I actually haven't asked how much is in my band for the last few fills, so I don't know exactly how much---but they have been significantly smaller than earlier fills; I'd guess I'm around 9.5 cc, maybe 10.

thank you I just was wondering if something was wrong. If others have had larger fills then I am secure in the fact everything is fine it just will take a little longer. Again thank you for responding. I know everyone is different but hadnt heard anyone past 8.5 in 11 band and was wondering if something was wrong. Whew I feel better

I am sooooo glad that I see others at 9cc. Tomorrow will be my first day on mushies. I was banded a month ago and my doctor added 3cc per week into my band for the past 3 weeks. Today I was expecting them to take some out something as I transitioned from liquid to mushies but they said, I should be fine, just take it slow.

Again, glad to see that 9cc's is not out of the normal range.
