I had my first fill today, he said normally he would only add 1/2 cc but since my weight loss is not very good, he added a full cc. I had 1.5 in there from the surgery so I now have 2.5 cc total. I really don't notice a huge difference, I have a 10cc band. Just wondering what everyone's different fill amounts are that are working. I can't get another fill for a month, at which point he will only add 1/2-1 cc again. How much does everyone have in their bands?

I just posted about this today.

I got my first fill this morning. I got 7ccs in a 11cc band. My doctor tried to put in 8ccs but I couldn't get Water down. Now I'm feeling restriction! Back in 2 weeks to check that everything is okay and maybe another fill.

I have 5cc and I'm good right here.

I have 8.5 in a 10cc band and about 3-4 hours after I eat I am hungry. It's like there is a big hole inside of me and it is so empty, I must get food in it now or I will die. So I go Tuesday for another .5 and we will see if that helps. I want to try and wait 5-6 hours inbetween meals.

I have 3.6 ccs in a 10 cc band and I have almost perfect restriction. Quantitiy wise of food I can eat 10-12 ounces.. so I know I need a little more in my fill but overall it's good

just had my 3rd fill...i'm up to 10.75 ccs

I'm up to 6.5 ccs in an 11 cc band. I'm at my sweet spot now.

I just got my 2nd fill, now have 5 cc's in my 10 cc band. And honestly, I'm hungrier now than I was before my fill. So I go back in 3 weeks and we'll see then!!

8cc in a 10cc band.....at my seet spot now. lost 6.5lbs. last month!!!

i have 5cc's and can eat way too much...going tuesday for a fill and i'm going to beg for a 1.5cc fill! wish me luck!

I have an 11 cc band. My first fill was 4.5 cc, and I got perceived no real restriction. It took another handful of fills (I think I've had 5) before I felt much. My last 2 fills have taken me to somewhere in the vicinity of 9-9.5 cc (I forgot to ask this last time), and I now have restriction that is right on target. I lost 15 pounds last month, and seem to be on the same trajectory with the level of restriction I now have.

Love the band!

I have 5.25 in my 10cc band. I am close but not quite there. at 5.5 it was too much and I couldn't even keep water down. When I go in two weeks I have to decide if I want anohter fill or to just leave it alone. The appointment is on the 21st and I leave for vacation on Saturday the 24th so I am worried about having too much restriction and not being close to home.

I have only had my band 10 days. I have a 10cc Band which was filled 2cc the day of surgery. The first 4 days, while I was still swollen, were sweet because I had NO hunger. Now I am getting pretty hungry, but I am still on the liquids. Saw my Dr. today for the first time since surgery. He says 1 more week of liquids and come back and see him in three weeks. I see him again 7/30........sure hope I am getting another fill then!!

I had 8cc in my 14cc band before I felt any restriction. Even then, I was still hungry in between meals but couldn't physically eat any more to satiate the hunger. After a month and a half with the 8cc, my doctor took me to 9cc...bloody hell! I starved for a month while on vacation, PBing every food I ate and barely being able to drink liquids without some chest pain. I went back to the doctor as soon as I returned from vacation a few days ago and got unfilled back to 8cc. For now? It's AMAZING being able to eat oatmeal again, and I'll see how it goes...if the hunger returns, I may go up to 8.5cc...but 9cc was a killer! Just be careful what you wish for

thanks y'all..this has helped me alot...I believe I'm one of those people that will require a tighter fill than some..I have been very depressed over my lack of weight loss and need to eat...and my ability to eat amounts of food that I felt were too large..I am going tomorrow to get a fill and hopefully things will get better! thanks for the feedback!

i'm at 6cc's now and I feel like I this is what I've been reading everyone else talk about on here..the restriction is great! already loosing again...hope it stays this way for awhile!! Good Luck to everyone!!
