14 cc band, How many cc's do u have and have restriction?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 3/4/13

I have only had one fill at a total of 6 cc's so far.

Feel minimal restriction, I can feel the difference from before the fill, but am sure I could use more!!

How many cc's are you? How much restriction are you feeling?

Thanks Everyone!! :D

I have 9cc's in a 14cc band. I know I have some restriction but I don't believe I am in the green zone by any means. However my surgeon is reluctant to give me any more fills because I am losing. It helps a TON but I could still eat whatever I want and I don't have to eat slowly or take small bites. I do as practice for one day when I am in the green :)

Great info so far! Thank you so much, I just wanna get a good feel for what the average is! For those who havent hit that green zone yet, keep trying! I have an appointment for another fill on Wednesday, hope i can at least get 1 cc for a total of 7. At my last appointment they made it sound like any further fills would be pretty small, but im gonna have a talk with em!! :)

8 cc in a 14 cc band....6 months in and dont feel any help yet and have not lost much either :(. Dr doesnt want to give me anymore as she feels I should "be there"- my point being.."what happened to not comparing yourself to others"...Im NOT there yet according to what everyone says and dont feel she should be telling me I should be?!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
