Hi Chillie, I hope your restriction lasts but usually with that little of a fill it may only last for a week or two before you'll be ready for another.

Best of everything,

I thought I might have been at my sweet spot at 7 cc but after a week or so only had a little restriction. My 4th fill brought me to 8.5 and I think I've finally got good restriction - time will tell as I just recently got this fill.

My doctor did say though that with this band most people get good restriction anywhere between 7 - 9 cc.

I have 6ccs in my band going for another fill (3rd) this week. I have no restrictions. I could really use it.

Well, the 9cc's I had in my band made it too tight. I lost 10 pounds in 9 days! Could not get chunky Soup down without a fight! I went and got 1cc drained out and it is a huge difference. I still go slow, but am able to eat now. I never thought I would be one to get Fluid taken out, I want restriction, but that was too much.

I got my first fill on 12/26.07 (2cc), second fill on 1/30/08 (2cc), had plenty restriction for three weeks. After three weeks that died, had 1cc put in today 2/25/08 for a total of 5cc. On liquids right now and feeling some restriction when I drink Water, I hope this works.

Wow, 12cc's seems like a lot, but what do I know? Haha

The 8 I have in there now seems to be pretty good, but I have my days!

I had my 2nd fill 12 days ago, and I'm very happy with it. I now have 5 cc's in my band and so far it's feeling just fine. I almost have too much restriction in the morning, but it's fine later in the day. I can live with that as long as I keep loosing.

I was banded Oct. 14,2007, I currently have 6cc in my band and I am a little too tight. Since being banded I loss a total of 53 pounds. Right now food feels like the enemy. I have to make myself eat, but after a couple bites, I'm full.

I am at 11cc's in my 14cc band. I feel very little restiction. I can eat about anything without worry. I do chew well so that probably helps but the amount that I can eat and then be hungry again within a couple hours sucks. It is four weeks until my next fill. I am worried they will have to overfill mine before I have enough restriction, but I still have three cc's to go.

      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.
