Realize Band at 9.5cc

I was banded with a Realize band in April. So far I have lost 90 pounds, which is great. I just had a recent fill and am now at 9.5cc's. I trust my doctor, and she said not too worry about the fill level as every one is different.

But, I am worried because I have read a lot of posts about the Realize band bursting when too full. Should I be worried about my band being at 9.5 cc's?

If your doctor said you're ok, and you trust her, then you're most likely fine.

I agree with RestlessMonkey. I attended a seminar given by a Realize Band rep prior to my surgery, and the he said there was room in the band for some over-fill.

wow. my doc has only put in 3 cc total and i am not losing at all. i have learned on here that most people have at least 6cc. i have had mine for almost a year and hardly any weight loss, i think i need to push my doc for fills.
