I was just wondering for those of you that 100 pounds or more, what was your fill maxed at? Like how many cc's did you have in your band to get to the correct place, not too full and not not full enough.

I've had between 5-6 in a 10cc band for most of my journey. Right now I feel like I'm right where I need to be at 5.8. You can't compare that to anything though. You might find yourself in the green zone at 3 or you might need 8. Everybody is different. As you lose fat the band loosens and you will need more added. That's why it's so important to have regular appointments especially through the first year or so.

Cindy is exactly right. As you lose, the band gets looser and you will need tweaks to get back to the green zone. It's different for every one.

At 2 years out, I've lost exact count of how much I have in my band, but I know it's somewhere around 5.5 or 6 cc's. I came out of surgery with 3cc's. Had 1 cc added at first fill, and since then my fills have all been .5 & .2cc (yes, 1/2 and 1/5 of a cc.. very small). The small fills work perfectly for me.

I went in about every 6 weeks during my first year... sometimes I got an adjustment, sometimes I didn't.

My last fill was also .2cc. It made all the difference in the world. I went from a very long plateau to losing about 12 pounds in 3 months. When you consider that .2cc=4 drops that really is amazing!!

Cindy, you are wise and amazing! Congrats on your success so far!! You're almost there! Question-- regarding the band loosening, it loosens because your stomach is shrinking? I never thought of that, but it makes sense! If you are losing everywhere else, why not also the star spot?!

OMG! Yo are AMAZING!! Do you have any before and after pics? You are such an inspiration! And I am sooo glad to see that you did it at the ripe ol age of 53! I'm 63. You are 10 years smarter than me. But it is never too late. Your life must be so totally different. Do you have your story somewhere? Supe congrats!! And thanks so much for being such an inspiration! Keep up the amazing work! You sound so casual-- was it a relatively "easy" journey for you? It has been for me so far-- but I still have a long way to go.

I have to agree that it will be different for you. But I am 22 lbs below goal and have lost 117 lbs. I had 7.65 and then had .10 removed and I am pretty good right now. Good luck!
