How big is your band and how much were your fills?

My band is 11ccs and I got 3ccs on my first fill. I think he gave me a big fill because I told him that I ate an entire 12 inch sub. I'm taking Lyrica so sometimes the hunger gets the best of me.

Usually the band is either put in empty, or like mine, had 3 ccs put in at surgery.

I have an 11cc band. My surgeon normally gives 4ccs at the first fill, but i only got 1cc and I have had 2 fills. I still have good restriction after 8 1/2 months. I think everyone is just different.

I just had my first fill today and doc put in 4.5 cc in a 10 cc band. I think this sounds like a big fill, what does everyone else think?

I have a 10 cc band. I got 4.4 cc's with my first fill and another 1.5 cc's (or so, I wasn't paying close attention...) with my 2nd fill. The first one didn't restrict me at all and I was eating a ton of food, but this second fill is AWESOME. I eat 1 cup of food and I'm FULL. I love it!

OMG tubcat you look just like my niece in your picture. If someone showed me that picture and said it was her I wouldn't question it. Okay, I digress.

3ccs is not enough for me. I ate bunches of pizza tonight with no problem. I can't wait until May for my second fill and I'm hoping I get a big one.

I think many surgeons do large fills in a 10 or 11cc band. I am just a weird person whose stomach is just abnormally sensitive to being messed with, so I don't require a large fill. My friend, banded by the same surgeon two weeks before me, has 8ccs in her band while I only have 2.:smile:

I just got 3.5cc in my Realize band (9cc band I think) and am on the liquid diet for a couple days so no telling if it is very restricted yet but with the fluoroscope during the fill it looked like the passage was only about the size of a small straw. Dr White does all his fills with a fluoroscope to monitor how restricted he has made you.
