How many CCs does everyone have?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious to see how many CCs it took for everyone to get to their green zone. My band is a 10 CC band and I have 6 CCs in it but don't feel I'm green yet. How about everyone else?

I now have 6.5 CCs in my band and I'm green! I wonder why no one wanted to answer this thread though. I know the amounts are different for anyone but I was just curious to see if there was an average. My doc said between 6-8 seems to be where most fall.

I was also only restricted for a little while after my first three fills. But now that I know what the green zone feels like I understand true restriction. Good luck getting to your green zone too!

What's considered green zone? I'm post-op 3 weeks so no fill yet until my first fill appointment in 3 weeks. I don't feel hungry and have to make myself eat. I've lost 14 pounds so far.

Jeannette, green zone is where you are restricted enough to not be hungry between meals. You are satisfied after eating a cup of food. Red zone is too much restriction and yellow is not enough.

Sorry...just saw this thread. I was very lucky in that I had good restriction from the band alone and didn't need a fill for nearly the first two years. Since then I've gotten a total of 5CC in a 14 CC band. I can definitly feel the restriction when I eat solid Protein and certain breads. I've never gotten stuck, but I've come close a few times. I get that pressure, I start to slime...and for some reason, I get hiccups. I actually think I might go in for another small fill over the summer as I am creeping back up on the scale. I need to drop about 7 lbs. so we'll see.

Good luck with your band and weight loss journey!

I'm slowly approaching my green zone I'm at 6 cc now with a 10 cc band. I have felt more restriction longer than with my previous fills. I hope the next fill will put me completely in the green.

Hi everyone. just had my band fitted last Tuesday. All went well. Even sorted my hernia while they where doing it so no more being sick in my mouth !! No joke it was that bad. I sticking to the fluids and shakes but do feel hungry sometimes. The doc filled my band with 2 cc and I go back for check up and fill in another 4 weeks. Onto mushy food lol next week so I'm hoping to feel a bit more full after that. So pleased I found this forum.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
