4cc band....I want to know....what is full?

I'd like to know what is considered a band at the limit of capacity. Some doctors will only fill the 4cc band to 4, others I have heard go above 4.

Does anyone know what the band company says is 'full' or the limit?

Thanks in advance.

My surgeon said he can fill my 4 cc band to 5 cc's. I am at 2.5 right now and getting ready to get another fill.

All I know is that the 10cc bacn can be filled to a little over 30cc's before it will burst. I would assume that a 4cc could then be filled to 12 before bursting. That said, no one would ever need it filled that much ever! If you ever reach a point where you are not restricted enough and your doctor won't fill you further based on fear of a number get a second opinion and a flouro

My doctor said he can put about double in it if need be but I've just returned home from a slight unfill and don't think mine will ever even need the 4cc's mine holds, lol. I had 3cc's in the 4cc's, 9.75cm, inamed, lowprofile mini and was so tight I couldn't eat and they took out .3. Now I have 2.7 and omg, it is so good now.
