I went from 4cc to 6cc without any issues. This past Thursday he gave me another fill of 1cc, so I'm now at 7cc's. Everyone is different I suppose.:rolleyes:

Well..... I guess you asked for it!

I know that bands techncially can hold a little more than their stated capacity but I would think its a little risky for both you AND your band to be overfull. Although I hear your frustration - I have a 4cc band too - it had 3cc in it for years and years whilst I maintained. I had to unfill it almost a year ago now for a big surgery and I'm now back to 3.4cc and can barely feel a thing restriction wise.

I apologize. I mis read your post. I have a 10cc band. Sorry!;)

My First fill was at 4 CC's , I just now got another fill to get me to 5.5 CC's . I am just now feeling it , so yeah . I am sure everyone is different :)

had my first fill Saturday, 4cc's...it took about 30 seconds. Super fast, no pain at all. I am on liquid diet through tomorrow, and hope it gives me more restriction. Right now, stomach is just gurgling a LOT, and I am worrying that it worked........
