Thanks Tonyann

Hi Tonyann!

I also have a 14cc band. I have had two fills and have 5cc in my band. I currently am comfortable with where my restriction is. I can eat more, but rarely want to. I dont know how long this will last, I was banded on June 19th. I am almost down 20 pounds including pre op stuff total.

I will want more of a fill if I see myself being hungry between meals and not getting satisfied at meal times.

I also have a 14cc band, I am a little over a year out. I am down over 80 pounds now (ticker updated soon-Tuesday after Dr. visit)

I have 5.5cc or 6.5cc in my band, why? well I have a tipped port and the Dr wasn't sure the first fill went in so he did it again. I think they both went in lol. I had good restriction since then. Since I was tight most of the day till early afternoon have not had a fill in about 4 months. Now that is it is getting cooler I seem to be hungry more now. Band tightens in the summer I guess.

So I am hoping to get a fill on Tuesday 9.3.. they will pull out to see how much I have in my band since the Dr. did not note in my chart that he did two fills. Since my port is tipped he has to do the fills, I am going to be sure to tell the nurse to make sure he checks how much is in my band.

I also have a Allergan 14 cc band. I will get my first fill on Sept 18. So far, 50 pounds since June 18 start for the band. Aug 6 was band day.

Congratulations to all banders! We are doing this together.

Congrats on 50! That's awesome!

I have a 14cc band and am at decent restriction now. If it stays as it has this month. I won't get additional fills. See stats in ticker below.

I've got a 14cc band and have 4 cc in my band. I am down 63lbs since 5/24/12. I have lost consistently but I also follow the rules and exercise daily. I think if your stuck then you need to change something up it's not only about the food your putting in but the calories your burning

I have 9.5cc in my 14cc band. I have lost 103 pounds since 5/24/11. But my loss has never been consistent. Ill lose big one week and be stuck for a couple weeks. Its frustrating, but not enough to give up!!!

Thanks all 14cc large banders ,for the feed back i have and idea now. i will probable need at least 2-3 more fills and just be patient and keep up with my calorie counting and walking .

Thanks tonyann
