How Much Fill Do You Have And What Kind Of Band Do You Have

and are you at your sweet spot??

I have noticed that the Realize band may take more of a fill then the Allergen band. I'm a bit worried since I have 6.5 cc's in my realize band and I know I could still use a bit more. Not sure if its 1cc or .5 etc but I know I could use something where I have seen people with other bands hitting goad with 3 or 5 cc's in there band...

Just wondering..... I know we are all different, etc... I go for another fill on Monday. I'm only 9 weeks out and doing great but just wondering....

I have 4 cc in a 14 cc Allergan band. THis is after only one fill, he had put 2cc in during surgery. I am not at a sweet spot yet, but have success with small meals and staying for for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

I have an 11cc Realize band. I'm 5 months out and at my last fill went from 5.5cc's to 7cc. I'm feeling that this may be the green zone. funny.. I didn't think I would ever say that! Just remember that everyone is different.

I may try for .5cc's more at my next appt. I can eat most everything except bread, dry meat and have to chew like crazy. I usually feel full after about a cup of food.. some days its more, some days it's less.

It's so exciting getting to this point. I haven't lost much weight since being banded and have been super frustrated, but now it's really starting to work!

Good luck!
