When is the band "full"?

[HotMama24 0]

I am trying to find a new fill doctor. My surgeon wants $150 and will only do .5cc at a time regardless of how restricted you are. I called around and told another doc that I think I have around 3 cc in my band, she said that a lot of times that is it, that that is a full band even though it holds 9.75 ccs.... what? That just doesn't make sense to me. I live in Houston, one of the biggest cities in the country and I can't find a darn doctor to do my fills!!

Scratch that, found an old post I have 6 ccs - is that horrible? Because I can eat whatever I want - now I'm worried that I've totally messed this up...

Well... to my knowledge if you have a 10cc band it will hold 10cc's.

From what I've seen on here, lots of people have 6 or more cc's.

.5 cc no matter what seems strange.

Think he just wants to make more money, altho, .5cc could be all you need.

Why would that be horrible? Lots of people end up with more than that in order to get good restriction. Don't freak yourself out! .5 fills only is ridiculous, especially if you're paying per fill.

I would try going to a True Results aftercare center. I don't know if you prefer an actual doctor doing your fills, but they have PAs doing the fills. Also, I'm not sure if they only accept their surgeon's patients, but it won't hurt to try. I know they have a location in Houston. This link will take you to their info page.
