vinesqueen 2 Posted March 7, 2006 1.5cc in a 4cc band and I feel like I'm at the fabled sweet spot. I was at 2 ccs twice, and was miserable both times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSasha 0 Posted March 7, 2006 3.16 in a 10cm band. I never had restriction nor do I have any food intolerances. I think I got a bootleg band:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunni 0 Posted March 8, 2006 My highest comfortable fill is 1.8cc in a 4 cc band. I was recently at 2.0cc (again) and was miserable for 3 weeks until my unfill...reflux was horrible, and my esophagus was irratated. Now Im unfilled (yet, again) for 4 weeks and on Nexium and Reglan. I told doc no more overfills dammit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyNana 10 Posted March 8, 2006 I'm 2. in a 4cc band, probably could use more, but I've been overfilled before and it's no fun, it was quite miserable. It must be time for a slight fill though, because for the first time since being banded I'm starting to get hungry and I don't like that feeling either.

illude 0 Posted March 8, 2006 my highest fill was 2.0cc in a 4cc band...but it was too tight....i had my doctor take some out and he took out 0.5cc now i'm too loose ...i need another fill but not too tight so i guess your right it just varies in different people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tilly 5 Posted March 8, 2006 I have the cousin band hich holds 9cc and have 6.5 cc in it. I think this is my "sweet spot" fingers crossed I cant eat meat of any kind, bread, fruit, (mashed banana is fine) rice, Pasta unless I chew it to death. And im losing weight fine. my downfall is mints like altoids, I swear I wont eat any each day then cave and eat lots of them, so they are slowing my weight loss a bit but I shall battle on against the cravings.
