Where is your sweet spot in a 4cc band?

[Jachut 487]

I personally havent been filled more than .1 cc in my 4cc band at a time since I hit 1.5cc. My doctor, who is one of the Australian pioneers of the band is very firm that small is better with this band, a little amount makes a big difference and big fills lead to big problems.

It isnt widely used now becuase of the improvements in the newer bands which make slips just that little bit less likely - not a lot, but these things are always developing.

I know when I was banded back in December 05, this was a common band but there was also a 14cc one being used in australia and I had a much easier time finding restriction than people I knew with the 14. But you have to be patient becuase its so easy to overfill it, as little as .1cc can tip you over.

I find that 2.8cc is perfect for me. I can eat "normal" amounts of food in that people dont notice the amount, I'm just a "small eater". I can eat bread, I can eat meat, I can eat everything - but like Mely above, I'm less likely to eat some things in public than others. I get stuck and pb only occasionally, but it does happen.
