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

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
