I also have the 10cc band. I have yet to feel the restriction enough that 1 cup of food is enough. I was banded 1/27/06. My first fill of 4cc was on March 8. My second fill 6.5 cc (total) was on 4/4/06. I am going for my 3rd fill on May 2nd. I did feel more restriction after the second fill but not enough.
Now I'm sticking to the low-carb diet and don't get as hungry because my blood sugar levels are steady.
I have lost 23 pounds so far.
Good luck!

I just found something new that I really like. It is Atkins Advantage Caramel, chocolate Peanut Nugat bar. It is like a real treat, like a candy bar. It has 150 cal, 3 net carbs, and no sugar alcohols. This is a new product from Atkins. The best part is no sugar alcohols.
Also found something else that I like, Philadelphia Cream cheese "Garden Vegetable". I spread some on a low carb wrap add some spinish leaves or lettuce with turkey, ham, etc.

Hi! I am new here. I was banded on 1/27/06. I had my first fill on 3/8/06. I have a 10cc band with 4cc fill. I have not had any problems to date but I still takes a lot for me to fill full. I have scheduled another fill for 4/4/06. I know everyone is different but can anyone with a 10cc band tell me about their expericence? I wondering if I will ever fill full. I started at 256 and I'm down to 238. It is a struggle because I get so hungry from one meal to the next and I do eat Protein.< /p>
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I live in the Russellville area. Dr. Wellborn did my surgery on 1/27/06. I have lost 26 pounds since then.
There is a support group meeting scheduled for May 16th at St. Vincent's by Dr. Wellborn's office. This will be the 2nd meeting. I wasn't able to make it to the first meeting. Jamie who had lap-band surgery and works for Dr. Wellborn headed the meeting. She has lost over 100 pounds. This may be further than you want to drive but I think I will make the hour drive myself. I will e-mail Jamie for the details time, topic, etc.
How much have you lost? How may fills have you had? What band do you have? I have the 10cc VG Band.
