I have a 9cc band that is what my Dr's almost always use.

I had my first fill on 11/10/06 and had a 4cc fill.

My Dr does not do fill during surgery and will not do them for 6 weeks post op.

My next fill appointment is 12/22/06 to see if I need more.

So fare so good. I feel restriction and I think it is the perfect amount. Of course what I loose for weight will determine that.

What size band do you have?

How much of a fill do you have at a time and how much fill is in you now?

I have a VG band that holds 10cc's and I am at 8cc's right now. It's pretty tight, especially in the morning. I'm thinking this is a good restriction for me right now.

Hi!!:bolt:

Here I have a Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band (10cc)

And I am at 7.5cc since my first and only fill. :nervous

I have a 4ml band with 3ml in it as of Friday (had .3 put in). Restriction is OKish. I'm certainly better off than where I was over the last six weeks, restriction had really waned, my appetite was soaring and I really didnt even have to be careful of what I ate at all - not even needing to eat particularly slowly. That's been fixed, but I can still eat bread and meat and have done so, quantity is fine though, weight has dropped slightly and the ravenous appetite has disappeared, so its very much a help but I very much could still go off the rails if I wanted to.

Sigh, I think I'm going to be one that could go right up to 4ml, but I'm only 8kg from my goal weight. Still, I wont be surprised if I need more fill to get me there, particularly since that's only my initial goal weight, I'd really really really really love to be 70kg, so that's 13kg more.
