[mklady63 0]

I have a total of 10.25 in my 14 cc band and have restriction. Some days are worse than others and I even cancelled tomorrow's appt. knowing I did not need anymore at this time. I am 10mos. post surgery (4/23/08) and have lost 50lbs, the majority of that has come off in the past 6 mos. once I hit 7+ cc's on fills

Okay i have 14cc band. I had 5 cc in it, and yesterday he filled it to 10 cc. I am super restricted, had trouble with my yogurt this morning and Water is slightly a problem.. Oddly enough i ate mac and cheese last night LOL with no problemo. I figure i am just swollen. Im gonna give it a few days as long as i can still get water down, i will do Soup for a few days and give it a chance. Since i never had restriction and now going to serious restriction i think im just bein a baby, but will keep an eye out and if i have any other complications i will got back and get some taken out. Im grateful for this post. Keep them coming.

Wow!! I'm suprised he gave you 5cc's in 1 shot. That's alot to get all at once.

i get fills under fluro, and they watch what is going thru and what isn't. I wasn't expecting that much either. Today though im eating okay. I just now though have to actually follow the rules. small bites, chewing very well. so far so good, not acid reflux which is somethign i am lookin out for.

i have a 14cc band and got my first fill last week of 4cc.

this provided little to no restriction. i can still eat 75-80

percent of what i could before. i go tues for another should i get 1,2,3 more ?

[nazzy 1]

wow i had to wait 6 weeks between fills,take it slow if i was you,2 fills right away might be to much, its weird how 1 dr will do them a week a part and others u dont wait at all

Well, after looking at the poll I see there is still hope. Since I'm already at 7cc's and not restrictred enough, I was happy to see that more people had it with 8 or 9 cc's.

well i have restriction now,at 9cc not swure it will last b ut i havent been able to keep to much food down.but my dr did say 2 days liquids and 2 more soft than food.but i didnt wait i ate food and its not really staying down.so im back on liquids for another day with sugar free puddings,

I got my very first fill on March 5th. I got 4 cc's put in my 14 cc band and i noticed restriction the next day. I noticed I don't eat as much with dinner and my carnation instant Breakfast that I drink at 8 a.m. holds me over until lunchtime at 12:30 p.m. Now that i'm back on track with my solid foods and my body has adjusted i'm losing 2 lbs a week.

Well, I am now at 17cc's in a 14cc band. Does anybody else get the feeling that something is not quite right? I should not even be able to swallow my own spit any more but I am not having any trouble. The fill was just yesterday so we will see what happens now.

[nazzy 1]

wow i never knew they could put 17 cc in a 14 cc band,im at 9cc and i can hardly eat,have u had your band checked for leaks?seems like youd have found yr sweet spot by now?id have them xray it or check to see just doesnt sound right,and u can still eat all you want?i can hardly at all and i have 9cc

[Big Dan 2]

No leaks. They pull out all the Fluid before adding new and each time the amount that comes out is usually very close. I am hoping they will take a closer look at my next appointment. I don't know if I can still eat anything I want (supposed to do fluids for a day) but before the fill I certainly could.

I was banded a little over ten months ago. I had lost about 40 lbs after surgery but have gained 20 of them back. I am really hoping for some restriction!
