What size band do you have and what amount of fill do you have?



Recommended Posts

I have a VG band that holds 10cc's and I am at 8cc's right now. It's pretty tight, especially in the morning. I'm thinking this is a good restriction for me right now.

I have a 4ml band with 3ml in it as of Friday (had .3 put in). Restriction is OKish. I'm certainly better off than where I was over the last six weeks, restriction had really waned, my appetite was soaring and I really didnt even have to be careful of what I ate at all - not even needing to eat particularly slowly. That's been fixed, but I can still eat bread and meat and have done so, quantity is fine though, weight has dropped slightly and the ravenous appetite has disappeared, so its very much a help but I very much could still go off the rails if I wanted to.

Sigh, I think I'm going to be one that could go right up to 4ml, but I'm only 8kg from my goal weight. Still, I wont be surprised if I need more fill to get me there, particularly since that's only my initial goal weight, I'd really really really really love to be 70kg, so that's 13kg more.

      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.
