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

3.16 in a 10cm band. I never had restriction nor do I have any food intolerances. I think I got a bootleg band:(

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!

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.

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

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
