11 cc band - how much is enough??

[stefgray 0]

Hi. I have 8.5 cc in my 11 cc band. My dr. generally won't go past 9 cc without checking upper GI, etc. I am heading in today to get another cc put in. I thought I had reached my sweet spot last Christmas when I had my 3rd fill. But, now I feel like I can just eat, eat, eat. I am really hoping that this last little bit will take care of the last few pounds I need to lose and get my restriction just right.

Does anyone else have an 11 cc band? And, how much Fluid do you have in it?

Thanks.

I have an 11 cc band and have 9 cc of Fluid in there. My doc says he will keep adding more as much as it takes to get me where I need to be, and right now the 9 cc is doing the trick, full only after a few bites of food.

My doc always does his fills under flouroscopy machine in the xray dept and has said nothing about doing an Upper GI, just looks at the band under fluory every time I get a fill.

Good luck and congrats on your 100 pound loss!!
