Hey guys Im at 9.8 and i can still eat a burger and fries and put it down. I have been off of work so been laying on my ass for 6 months and put on some weight i lost. Anyone else pretty full on their band and can still eat a lot? I remeber the nurse telling me she was at like 6ccs and could only eat like 2 crackers and a small thing of tuna and be so full she couldnt move. I must have an iron stomach?? OR? Anyone else like me? Let me know.Thanks

Have you talked to your doctor? I am sure he would have some suggestions to help you out. Good luck

I have 10.4 and have some restriction, but not enough. I don't know how much they can fill it beyond its capacity.

:thumbdown: maybe you stretched your pouch. Have them check it!

Yep. I'm at 11.5cc in a 10cc band. Just a few nights ago I ate an entire hamburger, bun and all, with some potatoes and baked beans and a large brownie. I had to eat it slowly but I got it all down without getting stuck. Then again, last night I had an 8oz hamburger steak, could only finish about 3/4 of it, threw up about a 1/4 of what I ate, and only had a couple of fried green beans with it. So go figure. :confused: But I do feel that I can eat more than I should be able to so I have a fill scheduled on 3/11. I have been told, informally, that the band can probably hold up to about 14cc.

:sad: maybe you stretched your pouch. Have them check it!

What can they do if you stretch your pouch out? The surgery would have been a waste!

I had my first fill and they put in 4.5cc. I am still hungry, and I can eat an entire salad. I thought my new pouch would only let me eat small portions. I usually eat a chicken breast, broccoli and carrots for dinner. I am full, but I am surprised how much I eat. If I eat less then I am hungry. I am very frustrated!

Not a waste, it happens. It can happen to gastric bypass patients too, look at Carnie Wilson. Anyhow. they would have to check via xray to make sure. When you eat alot even after you really are full there is the chance you can stretch it. but it sounds like you just may need more restriction. Talk to your doc and see what he thinks.
