Hi - just wondering what determines the size of band that the surgeon uses on each person? I see threads saying "I have a 4cc band" What does that mean? :phanvan Can your band be too big or small?

:girl_hug: <P>Thank you for your replies...I am very excited for my 1st fill and it seem like forever since surgery. I was walking a least a mile the day after surgery and have felt great. The first to weeks were great...then day by day I got alittle more hungry ...now I feel like I could it anything like before surgery. I havent ...but I think I could. I am up to 3 miles aleast 5 days a week and have lost 13lbs. But the last to weeks..I think it was on total will power...no restriction at all. So I hope my fill will help. I eat about 2 to 2.5 cups at dinner. Protein shake with banana in the morning and a protein bar with a yogart a lunch. Dinner is protien, small salad and veggie...with maybe a little cottage cheese. How much weight have you lost since surgery...before your first fill?</P>

Hi - I was banded 3/22/07. I have lost 15lbs. My first fill will be this Thursday 4/26/07. I am a cash pay and am very motivated and excited to take this journey! Thank you already for all the information I have found.

<p>Hi - I had my surgery in same clinic as you ....on March 22nd! 1st breakfast is full of information you will need to proceed thru the next 4 weeks after surgery. I was nice to have all 3 professionals there that you and mentioned to answer question...Good Luck! Did they tell you what is on the Menu for 1st breakfast?</p>
