Hi there! I also have an 11cc band and I have 7cc already. I feel the restriction alright, If I don't chew correctly or eat to fast, I really pay for it. but it wasn't until thi last fill that I felt the restrictio. Now, everyone is different so you might feel it way before that. good luck!

Mine is 11cc, I have had two fills for a total of 6 cc. I have noticed a slight difference. Getting two more cc next Friday, doc says this will be " the one"!

I believe I am at 8 in 11 cc and feel restrictionif I eat too fast or too much but until Sunday didn't feel that much different and was very frustrated. Then Sunday I got stuck and had a bit of a pb episode and until this evening felt like I was in green zone but now not sure and not sure of it was due to pb or just it decided to work?!?. I read on here but can't find it - the week of/before your period it can be tight and I worry that is all it was - it was awesome though and gave me hope- now tonight back to being hungry :-(. My nurse practitioner said they have noticed this band seems to take more fills to get to green zone - she even has a lady at 10cc she said so there is hope, I'm thinking of going in next week and seeing of she will go w a 1/2 cc and hoping it will be perfect! Good luck everyone!

I have one of them. Currently sitting at 9cc. The restriction is a huge difference from previous fills. I have to eat super slow and small bites chewed good or else I throw up. So now I believe I'm in the green zone.

Oh and don't worry about throwing up its all part of learning to live with the band. Also you will feel much relief from throwing up.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
