As of today, I have 10cc in a 14 cc band. Stress causes my band to tighten so I have had several fills and unfills. Check out below my post for my fill/unfill history. It's all about finding your sweet spot!

I guess now I have 6c in the VG 10 cc band. I didn't realize there is also a 14cc band.. Confusing and wonder how they decide which on to give you. I suppose the ones with more room can have more variation in temrs of how much is in it.. I can definitely feel restriction and am now loosing weight again after standing still for a week

My surgeon's office said that they won't tell me how much is in my band once I am banded.

You should talk to your surgeon, you have every right to know and every right to see your records, what's his reasoning behind that? Anyway, I have the Inamed 10cc with a fill level of 9cc and right now I'm at 3.6

      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.
