I just had my first fill today -- 1.7 ccs in my band. I know that I have an Inamed 9.75 band, but am not sure if that's 9.75 cm or that it holds 9.75 cc (and the Internet seems to have conflicting information). Can anyone clarify this for me?

Also, if you have the same band as me, how many ccs did you need to get to your sweet spot? I'm wondering if I'm even going to notice this first fill -- though my Dr. says that she usually only does 1 cc for the first fill and gave me an extra .7 because I asked her not to hold back.

I believe the INAMED 9.75 band holds 4cc's actually, not 9.75 or 10. Check out this site:

Compare Adjustable Gastric Bands - LAP-BAND vs. REALIZE Band

It's the older style band...been around since 2001.

Turns out it's a 5cc band. Any idea how many ccs are needed to get to the sweet spot?
