mine was 3 the first time . Each doctor decides how much they put in each time. I got 4cc at the time of the band then 1.5cc then 1cc in a 10 cc band

I am working on this question as now I have 10 cc's in a 14 cc band and have had five fills , but I am noticing how full and stuck I get on some foods so I don't eat them any more so I am down to 224 lbs from 276 I started this journey Sept 28 , but I really quit doing soda and sugary stuff in July after my first visit to the surgeon , but like I said I had the band placed in Sept. 28th so bout oct is when I really started lol and I am still trying it seems slow but that's o k cause I don't want any back .

One fill 14 months ago. I think it was 3cc. I had so much to lose my dr wanted me to have at least one because he said your stomach will shrink. I am never hungry, have never been sick or stuck (knocking on wood!).

My first fill was 3/20/13 and I had 3 cc's put in. I have lost a steady 1-2 lbs a week since then. Not sure if it is the green zone, but I am really never hungry anymore and I can only eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food.< /p>

I haven't found my green zone yet, but I was banded on 2/6/13 with 3cc and had my first fill on 3/25 for a total of 4cc in a 10cc band. I still find that I am hungry and can eat more than my 3 oz of Protein and 3 oz of veggies.

      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.
