Realize Band-C CCs to Green Zone?



Recommended Posts

I have the realize-c 11cc band, and I was just wondering--to others that have the same band, how many CCs did it take you to get to the Green Zone?I know everyone is different, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Good luck and much success to you!

I don't have a Realize band. I currently have 3cc in 10cc band & not in green zone. My Dr just told me "on average it takes between 4cc &7.5cc to reach green zone".

You will get a wide variety of answers.

Your doctor will be able to tell you the average for your band :) I don't have that band, I have a French band that holds 8cc and I'm currently on 5.5. The average greenzone for my band is 5-7. I'm feeling great at the moment and not wanting to eat at all (actually having trouble forcing myself to eat) but I only just got a fill 4 days ago. It probably won't last, so I'm thinking around 6cc for me :)

Sorry I cant help with your exact band though.

I, also, don't have that band. i have a 10 cc band, and my green zone came about 5 cc. But, everyone's body is different, look or your signs. Try not to get overfilled. Best wishes.Karen

I have 6 cc. in a 10-cc band and believe I am now in the zone. Had the last fill of 1 cc 2 days ago and right now, it feels tight and difficult, but am thinking it will loosen up a bit in a few days when I start adding back food.< /p>

just over half usually does it for most people on here, some can do it with very little in the bsand for a long time. 10cc band here with 6.5cc in it and that feels good for me,maybe just a bit more soon. Keep up on the fills and don't fight with the band not feeling hungry for 4-5 is the goal anything less check into a fill...my doctor said every 2 wks until green zone.

I have the 11cc band and I am at 8.5 cc and either at green zone or one fill away I hope. Now I seem to really notice if its real hunger or head/boredom hunger which is good!

      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. 🤞
