lisacaron 5,075 Posted November 15, 2013 Keep us in the loop and let us know if this restriction level works for you. I'm at 6cc in a 10cc band right now. I have some restriction but I can and sometimes do eat more then I should be. I was worried about another fill but reading all these posts has put my worry on hold. It's going to take a tweak for me I'm sure at least one more. 1 Pepper28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bamagurl 98 Posted November 15, 2013 I was banded about 16 days ago and CAN NOT wait for my first fill on the 26th! I have 1.25cc in a 10cc band. This site is a wonderful tool and even though some posts are about the trials and errors of others, it is very informative. Thank you for posting how you are feeling with your restrictions, it gives me an idea of what to expect. 1 Pepper28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zingythingy 210 Posted November 18, 2013 Ok my band is a 14. I have 9/5 cc's at the moment. I've been like the hungry hippo game this past few wks. I'm going for a fill tomorrow. Very nervous that the restriction lasts more than a week or so.. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper28 82 Posted November 19, 2013 I had my first xray on 11/13 after my fill to 8cc's & my PA says it looks like a "coffee Stirrer" and they prefer a "Milk shake Straw" type closure instead. Tomorrow will be 7 days w/8cc's i do still feel the restriction now on the 6th day. :D I think at 8cc's I'm "comfortable". I'm tight in the mornings & late at night. lunch & dinner i can't take big bites but i CAN take big gulps though. I think to see the scale move i should go tighter still. Maybe another half or so. When i go on the 27th for the next fill I plan to bring an actual 'Coffee Stirrer' to the appointment...and also 1 shipley doughnut (bread) to eat it in her face to show just how well it goes down (if it goes down) since my appointment is in the morning it may not go down....LOL Because she's at 8cc's in a 10cc band and has lost 60lbs in a year that's great, but I prefer a more aggressive weight loss than that. I've had 3 months of no loss at all. Also, she unfills herself when ever she wants & refills herself when ever she wants. I sure wish i had that liberty....
