So I just had my 10th fill, lost another 5 lbs! Down a total of 46 lbs since surgery 6 months ago!

When the lady did my fill today under fluro, she said all I could hold was .3 cc's. just curious as to what that means???? It didn't really register with me what she said until I had already left. Any ideas as to what she means???

Thanks y'all!

She put 0.3cc of fluid into your band. As you get closer to green fills become smaller and smaller. It's not unusual for old bandsters to get 0.1cc tweaks for instance.

Yes, I know and understand that she put .3 cc's in my band. My question was, why she would say "that's all I could take". Like that's all it would hold...

I'd say through the Fluro she could tell any more then 0.3cc would make you too tight

0.3cc is 1/3 of a milliliter.

If you have had 10 fills what is your total amount if you don't mind me asking, and what size is your band.

I have 2.5 in a 10cc band and I think I'm finally entering my green zone.

Good luck =)

Wow! You're lucky! I have 4cc's in a 10cc band and i still feel like i can tolerate too much & am hungrier a lot often than i feel i should.

My nurse said i should expect GREEN around 5-7cc's..

My weight loss has been slow, only 14lbs in 6 weeks.

Although i do expect to reach goal by new years.

I have 10.6 cc's in a 14cc band. I was banded 2/28/13.

Hmm, 10.6 CC is a bit. I'm guessing she is just trying to play it safe with the 0.3 CC fill.

I'm not far behind you at about 8 CC, but I couldn't possibly take any more fills. Just more proof to me that everyone requires a different amount of fills.

I have a 14cc band & my green zone was 9cc, everyone is all different

I am at 8.3cc in a 10cc and can eat ANYTHING bread, rice, chicken breast so everyone is sooooo different! Its good she is nudging you up slowly my last fill was 0.1 and it made a difference

Thanks, my surgeon thinks one more fill and I'll hit the green. I get my fills from true results and then seen my surgeon a week later. I feel good restriction but not enough to keep my full long enough.., I think another .2 or .3 cc and I'll be great!!

It took me ages to get on the green zone and I'm at the top of my band.

When you say top of your band does that mean it is completely full? I am 9 in a 10cc and still feel like I need more restriction..Scared. Anyone else in this situation?

I'm at 10cc in 11cc band. On a normal day I don't eat more then 1000-1200 calories. However, I have had them days where I can eat anything n everything. I rely mostly on self control.

I'm at 2.5 and I believe I could be tweaked but that's about it. Last visit I opted for no fill since I was doing so well. I have a 10 cc band

My nurse tells me that even tho the band may be technically at full it us nigh on impossible to tell. There is always natural loss and coupled with fat loss around the band itself. Go with your instinct and with your advice from your team.
