I'd like some information from people who've been on the band for a year or more. At what level did you hit your "sweet spot"? I'm at 6cc and really can't seem to lose more weight at that level, so I just wanted to hear from others.

Thanx

Honestly, that is a pretty tough question to ask, because everyone's sweet spot is different. Plus, many people have different size bands. For me, when I had my band, .02cc would make a huge difference for me in terms of restriction. I never got to more than 2.5cc in my band and even that was too tight for me.

What's a band to sleeve revision?

Wow...okay

I have a 10cc band and at 7.1cc I couldnt eat anything without reflux. So I removed 2 tenths down to 6.9 or so and Im okay so that is my sweet spot. I still plateau for several months at a time and the the weight begins to come off again. Good luck

Banded mid Dec 2008, have a 10cc with 7.25cc , down 33lbs from start of 200lbs. Feel fine with it now havnt had a fill for 8 weeks before that had a fill aprox every month after surgery, loosing approx 1.5 lbs a week or so. Not hungary any more between meals

You need to know how big your band is to fully understand the question you are asking. My band is 14 ccs and I am currently at. 8.5. I feel some restriction, but I don't think I am at my sweet spot yet.

I have had 2 fills and think I'm at around 4.5cc in a 10 band and I do not want more restriction!

am 4.5 in 9cc band i would like to have more fills i wont to be atleast 6 cc!

am 4.5 in 9cc band i would like to have more fills i wont to be atleast 6 cc!

But how does one know they want to be a certain number of cc's until they have been there and experienced it? I figure if I am able to lose up to 2 pounds a wk consistently, eat healthy foods easily enough without PBing, and not having any of the many problems I read about on this board associated with restriction, I'm happy.
