Hello, I just had my second fill which brings me to 4.5 cc on the new AP lapband. I was wondering how many cc's until you all felt restriction?

I know that everyone is different but I would be interested in knowing!

Please RESPOND !!!!!:eek:

i just got my 1st fill. i have a aps 14cc band. i got 4cc's. not really feeling much different. the nurse said it would take a couple of days. i sure hope so. i had my surgery on 10/23 and lost 14pds. before m fill i gained 2 pounds. very depressing. but i won't let it get me down. i am on a mission. i just don't want to be hungry anymore. I WANT RESTRICTIONS!!!!!!!

First, thanks for this thread...timing was perfect because yesterday at 4 weeks post-op, I had my 2nd fill up to 7cc in an AP-s lap-band. It was the worst fill exsperence I had ever had (another story) so I had no idea when I left if I was too tight or not. But last night I could only get down 3 tsp. of tomato soup and 2 oz. of water before I was totally full. So it's going down but very, very slowly. I am going to do as many of you have suggested and take it very easy over the next week. But it's wonderful finally having restriction again...so wonderful.

Wow Judybellyband...how lucky are you to get 7cc's at 4 weeks postop. I also have the aps band and my first fill 2 weeks ago was only 3cc's and my second fill yesterday was just 1cc. My doctor will only put 1 cc in every month after the second fill so to get to restriction for me is going to take awhile. I am better with 4cc's...I so far can eat a smaller plate of food....better anyway. The first fill did nothing. :cry :faint:

So glad to hear you're restricted again and the best of luck! :clap2:

I had my surgery on Dec. 4th with a 12 cc AP band.

First fill 12-26 to 2.5 cc's,

Second fill 12-31 to 4.0 cc's

Third fill 1-3 to 5.2 cc's

I fill up quicker but I can still gulp fluids down. I don't think I am at my sweet spot so I will make another apointment for next week. I was reading some of the responses and it looks like around 6 cc's seems to be good for a lot of people. I hope so. I have lost 25 lbs. since 12-4 but the last two weeks I haven't lost anything.

Keep the faith. Remember to eat to live not live to eat.
