Does 1Cc Make That Much Difference?

[debbied888 0]

I'm having a hard time getting my band where I want it. My question is does 1cc or 1/2 a cc make that big of a difference? I've had a slip fixed and can't seem to get band right and my Dr. Even has one of those machines that shows how barium goes down. I have a 10cc band. My calculation 9 too much 8 not enough. Thanks in advance

It absolutely can!! I was feeling okay at 6 cc's, and my last fill was only 0.5 cc's (bringing me up to 6.5) and it made the world of difference. I'm now totally in the green zone. I've heard as little as 0.2 cc's can change the restriction completely.

Oh yes, a HUGE difference! I only had a .2cc fill last time and it was the perfect amount to put me into the Green Zone. Even a .1cc can be the difference between perfect and too tight.

OMG Yes!!!

Yes. Even .1cc can make a difference. Seriously.... I have 10cc band and the highest I was at was 4.4 and it was super tight, went down to 3.9 and was a little too loose, so went to 4.1 and it's almost perfect. .2 made a difference to me...

You know, I wouldn't have believed it, but it just happened to me! My first fill was 5cc. I was hungry every 2-3 hours. Couldn't wait to get the second fill. I got 1cc, and OMG, what a difference! I have been so happy the past two days because I am no longer hungry whatsoever between meals. Staying full for a full 4-5 hours and have lost my craving for food in between. This has made me so happy. So yes, yes, yes, it can make a difference!

My surgeon has given me .25cc fills. Those fills make a huge difference!!!! I went from 5.75 to 6cc right where I need to be...but a week ago I was in between red and yellow zone. It's better this week and weight loss going strong:)
