How many cc's does my band hold?



Recommended Posts

I had my band put in July 2008 and I have had 3 fills with 3 cc's each time. I am FINALLY able to feel the restriction. I keep forgetting to ask my doctor what size band I have. The little card the doctor gave me says "LAP-BAND AP LRG WITH ACCESS PORT 1" What does that mean? What is the max it can hold?

Why can't I lose the weight? I have had only two fills since surgery on 12/26/09 and lost only 10 pounds. My last fill was on May 2nd 2010, and my band was filled to 5cc. I still do not feel restriction. I have only lost a little weight of 10 pounds. I have a small band. Do I need another fill asap? It has been seven months with hardly any weight lost. Please help.

I am no expert but I would be getting another fill asap!

I have to keep going back every month until I am at my correct amount of fill, have great restriction and am losing good amounts of weight (I am not there yet) but 7 months is way too long.....get another appointment asap and discuss it with them.

Good luck
