I wouldn't worry about what other bandsters have in their bands. If 3cc is working for you, then that's all that matters. i have no fluid in my band and I'm one of those lucky few who had restriction with no fills.

I finally got good restriction at 8.5 cc's so it's just different for everyone ... no 2 bands or 2 people are the same.

When I first had 3cc it felt good but that restriction dissipated by 6 weeks and had to go for more fills. I'm at 6 and feeling good and could probably use another 0.1-0..5cc Its highly individualized.

I have 2.5 cc and feel pretty good. I think I'm in the green zone. I'm only eating about a cup of food at time and that is keeping me full until my next meal.

I relate to "go walking " I have only had one small fill and averaging 4.5 pound loss a week and not hungry. Every time I go for follow up my dr. Says no fill needed. He actually says the amount of weight loss I have had in short period of time is more like what they see in G Bypass not lapband. So I'm very satisfied. Everyone is soooo different.

I've had 8 adjustments and have no idea how many cc's are in my band and I'm in the green zone!

Ask your Doctor how many cc's are in your band. He/She will definitely know. I have kept notes throughout my entire Lap Band journey on my iPhone and every time I get a fill I record my weight and how many cc's the doc put in or take and how I feel with that amount in my band (restriction wise). It's a good idea to record as much as possible when dealing with the Lap Band I have found.

I came outta surgery w/3cc's and around the 3rd week once the internal swelling and gas subsided i was able to eat jst abt anything.

I got my 1st fill 11days ago, bringing me to 4cc's, while I was once able to finish an entire can of pringles during a single television show #ultimatecouchpotato im not able to do this anymore.

Maybe as the days progress my appetite will return although i earnestly pray that it doesnt.

Im gonna try the no carb, 4oz meal, 3x a day the clinic reccomends in the meantime.
