I have 7.75cc's in my band. I'm going for a fill next week. Soooo close to my sweet spot. I'm 8 months post lapband. Seems like when I lose weight my band gets loose. Lost almost 60lbs so far.

I don't actually know I know he gave me 1 cc last fill said it was the max to give. but I hadn't had a fill in 5 months. I think I only had about 1 cc in before so maybe 2 cc's.. I've only had 3 fills..

I'm at 7.5 cc's in a 10 cc band, but I agree with Dee, as you lose weight, you may require more fills as you lose weight and your anatomy changes. I'm happy with 7.5 for the time being though.

My doctor doesn't share the amount as it varies so much from person to person but I've had six fills -- pretty sure they are small ones. I think my surgeon is of the small frequent fills school of thought. And I'm feeling pretty good as far as appetite being dimmed. I still have to fight off desire to eat anyway, but that's getting better.

I have 5 cc, but everyone is different as you see the answers here are. Don't worry about others, you will just happen when you happen. Then what you have will make a difference to no one but you1 Good luck, Karen

      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.
