I had my surgery on March 20 2007. I am down around 55lbs. I have a 4cc band.

Here is my dilemma, at 2cc's I am so tight I am on liquids mostly and very thinned out soft food, anything more and I have major sliming episodes.

1.7 cc where I am now results in practically no restriction (can eat a hamburger).

I honestly do not know where to go from here. I have a fill appointment on December 26. Do you think that having like 1.8 or 1.9 would really make that much difference? I can't believe between 1.7 and 2.0 I am seeing such a huge difference.

Has anyone decided just to lose the entire weight drinking the protein shakes and just being done with it.?

I have a very large stomach overhang and want to have a tummy tuck over the summer. I am 40lbs away from the number that the doc has chosen to consider the tummy tuck.

0.10cc can make ALL the difference in the world. If 0.3 makes such a huge difference you can get an idea of what 0.1 would do.

Yes, .1 or .2 can make a difference. I would shoot for either 1.8 or 1.7. Good luck!
