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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
