Filled to 9cc or more in a VG band?

Is anyone out there filled to 9cc's or more in the VG band? Since going to 8cc in late December, I've only experienced mild restriction. I've had some minor PB episodes, but those haven't prevented me from continuing to overeat. Any experiences among VG bandsters that anyone can share?

And who knows what the ultimate maximum capacity of the VG band really is?

Bill, I have a 13cc capacity in my VG and am currently at 10.5cc fill.

I still don't have great restriction. (I long to be in the 4-6 oz club).

But it has been better since my last fill last week.

Hang in there, I notice that you are losing weight. Nearly 60 lbs in 4 months is awesome.

good luck with your next fill.

I have 9.5 cc's in my band. I do have restriction, but really have to watch what I eat. It is sure easy to eat the wrong stuff and not enough of the right stuff. My doc is set on not putting much more in. So needless to say I am not sure how much more fill I will be getting. Hopefully enough to lose the rest of my excess weight. Best of luck to you!
