Hello fellow bandsters.

I just found out by my doctor that I have 14cc band.Trying to find out from others .How much CC's did most the folks fill to get comfortable restricted feel.I understand it differs from person to person.Just trying to see if majority have same restrictions with fills.I was told my frist fill would be 4cc's.Currenlty I can eat a cow.:thumbup:

Wow 4 ccs to start? I think my doc began at 2.5 ccs, I also have a 4cc band. The first fill I did feel a little restriction for awhile but it did wear off. I'm at 6.6 now - took from Feb to October to build to that, and feel great restriction...each time it would feel restriction, then I would loosen up, and he gave me small increments, like .1cc or .2 at a time.

My doctor gave me that large LapBand too. I have my first follow-up tomorrow, and would like to find out why he chose that one. I had my surgery last Monday. I am on a liquid diet and I am hungry. I have no restriction and can take in liquids the same as before my surgery. (I still sip, but sometimes I forget).

My first fill should occur in about 5 weeks.

I was banded July 17th and I have a 14cc band. I have had 3 fills and Im at 10.5ccs and Im currently feeling restriction. I have lost 56lbs so far! I dont know why my Dr chose that size band but I gotta believe that he knows what he's doing and as long as Im losing weight then Im cool, LOL...

I have a 10cc band. I have had 6.1 at one time but sensitive me is currently at 4.6. I do feel restriction but could eat more if i wanted to but i dont allow myself to.

I have a 14cc band. My first fill was 4ccs. Presently at 7.5ccs with no restriction yet. Going for 5th fill on the 14th.
