How much will a 4cc band hold?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for letting me know your experience. Do you feel restriction now? I still don't think I'm particularly restricted. I can eat anything including bread without a problem and I never feel completely full. I just stop. Maybe I don't know what I'm trying to feel. I am losing well but it just doesn't seem like what was described to me. I don't have to eat small bites. Maybe I just need to be thankful and stop wondering about all the things I was told prior to surgery. It seems like most of the preop teaching and classes were not right in my case.

well I just had it done and I know last time he filled my half full 2cc's and I though hmmm its not that bad , but then after a few days about 6 it got tight. For a long itme it was good. Ive lost more weight and I think it naturally got loose. So give your band time Im sure it will tighten up. Im gonna wait and see if it will , and I know stress and exercise does it to me anyway . I cant eat chicken cause its too big and I do eat fast , adn confuse hunger for thirst

hmmm not really , I think that its the same as before, wich I thought is weird and my first fill was like that too and then it got tighter. I think Im like some others and I just stop before I have that uncomfortable feeling and Ive been slowing down more too.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
