Maddysgram 6,159 Posted January 23, 2013 Everyone is totally different on this but my DR said on average between 4.5 & 7cc, some more, some less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted January 23, 2013 I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. I started feeling restriction with my 3rd fill and after a consult with my nutritionist, I started to lose weight. Took me 6 fills to get to the green zone.

seeme1954 32 Posted January 23, 2013 I have 9cc in my 14 cc band. No good restriction yet. Doctor says it will come. I didn't realize you can go up to 14 cc because band can stretch. He said I can come in every 2 weeks. I think you have to just wait it out. Everyone has a different stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summerrain 520 Posted January 23, 2013 I have a 14cc band, at the moment have 8cc in it and have been in greenzone for a while now with that amount. My surgeon said on average between 9 and 10cc in a 14cc band gets you where you need to be but everyone is different. It took about 8 or 9 fills over a six month period to get me to 8cc and I already had 4.8 cc put in on day of surgery so you can imagine how small of a fill I had each time I went in. It was a pain going in every two weeks for .2 or .3cc each time but I got there in the end. Some people are lucky enough with smaller amounts to get them to greenzone.
