How many cc's is your band?

While at my doctor's office today, I decided to ask how many cc's my band holds. She told me that I have a 14cc band, but, that they have never filled a band over 10cc. Is there anyone out there that has didn't hit the "green zone" until they got over 10cc's? I'm a little nervous about this since I'm already at 8.6cc's. Help!

Everyone keep me posted I missed my appt on yesterday to to a conflict in my work schedule but I am determined to speak up and get at me sweet spot

I also have a 14cc band and I'm at about 9ccs (I think) I feel like I'm getting close to the green zone! I haven't had restriction at all since about a month after surgery which was May 2 but I've lost 60lbs and maintained it for the most part. I've gained and lost a few pounds here and there. I'm hoping one more fill will put me in the green zone! My doctors told me with a larger band sometimes it's takes people longer to get to the green zone.
