How much does everyone have in their 4cc band and are consistently losing weight. just wondering what the average is?

Well I have been at my goal weight since October but while I was losing weight consistently (12-15 lbs a month) I was at anywhere from 2-2.8ccs. It varies greatly from person to person though. I know somebody that had 3.8ccs and needed that much for restriction. I also have a friend who only has .2 and feels tight with that. Right now I have anywhere from 1.5 to 1.8ccs and I have great restriction. Good luck!!

I'm at 2.5cc and have what I would call moderate restriction. I can eat anything and only have problems when I eat too fast, don't chew well, and the occasional "who knows why". But I am still controlling my portions. So far it's working for me, but I would like to be a little tighter and not have to count on my will power. I mean - if that worked, I would have never been banded.

A few weeks ago I went up to 3. That was too tight. I got stuck in a chewable vitamina nd during the course of the day irritated & swelled to the point that my own saliva could not pass.

The unfilled me back down to 2, at which point I was virtually wide open.

So once I'm accustomed to being back at 2.5 and seeing if it's any different this time. If I still feel like I need a little more fill in a a few weeks, then I will begin baby steps until I find the sweet spot.
