Poll - what is your sweet spot in a 4cc band??

[TxChelsey 1]

I just had my third fill. My surgeon is an "aggressive" filler and I am at 3ccs in my 4cc band now. I was on liquids yesterday and my first meal was a bowl of Cereal, no problems. Just curious where others are at as I am hoping this will be a good spot for me.

I have the small 4 cc band too. I'm at 2.5 and have been there since May (except one week unfilled - problem). This level of 2.5 works for me. I think there are alot of variables for the fill level that will work for each person. I hope you find your sweet spot soon.

Best wishes to you.

I am at 2.5 cc in a 4 cc band and have had 2 fills. I am scheduled for my 3rd fill next week. I know my doc is pretty aggressive with fills and did 1.5 cc the first time but only 1 cc the 2nd fill because she said I did so well with the 1.5 cc and thought if she did another 1.5 cc it would be too much for me.

I really hope this 3rd fill goes well and that I don't end up on the fill/unfill rollercoaster ride!!
