Ok so i got a fill today. I have the large vanguard band and as of now I am filled to 10. Only my second fill too. My 1st was to 7cc's. I felt some restriction but not as much as i could. I have lost 7 lbs since the last fill on July 18. He hooked me up to the flouro and all and watched it at 7, then addes 2 more and it passed right through. he added 2 more, my chest got tight and he took one out. that left me at 10. he thinks it is perfect. i drank a yougurt with no problem. what if it gets all the way filled and it isnt restricted??????

Dr told me it held 11.5 cc's.

I think the 11.5 (or the 12, as my doc said) includes the amount of saline in the tubing. So, the band itself hold 11.5 or 12 but you are only getting restriction from 10cc of that.
