Highest comfortable fill?

Of course the determination of the appropriate fill is VERY personal and individual, but I was wondering just out of curiosity what the highest, but not too tight fill, everyone has. I don’t mean it to be a contest or anything, or to determine for sure my own needs, I was just wondering…

I have tried just checking by siggy’s, but it is a very disconnected way to look at the data.

Anyone up for sharing that number with me? THANKS!!!

My highest comfortable fill is 1.8cc in a 4 cc band.

I was recently at 2.0cc (again) and was miserable for 3 weeks until my unfill...reflux was horrible, and my esophagus was irratated.

Now Im unfilled (yet, again) for 4 weeks and on Nexium and Reglan.

I told doc no more overfills dammit!

I'm 2. in a 4cc band, probably could use more, but I've been overfilled before and it's no fun, it was quite miserable. It must be time for a slight fill though, because for the first time since being banded I'm starting to get hungry and I don't like that feeling either.

my highest fill was 2.0cc in a 4cc band...but it was too tight....i had my doctor take some out and he took out 0.5cc now i'm too loose :)...i need another fill but not too tight so i guess your right it just varies in different people

I had 1 cc then another 2 cc and it seems to be just right.

I have the cousin band hich holds 9cc and have 6.5 cc in it. I think this is my "sweet spot" fingers crossed

I cant eat meat of any kind, bread, fruit, (mashed banana is fine) rice, pasta unless I chew it to death. And im losing weight fine. my downfall is mints like altoids, I swear I wont eat any each day then cave and eat lots of them, so they are slowing my weight loss a bit but I shall battle on against the cravings.
