I am at 1.2cc's in a 4cc band and some days I feel restricted, others I don't. I want to have another fill soon tho, I think it will help. I'm starting to be able to eat way too much.

1.6cc in a 4cc band and restricted well for 2 weeks at a time starting the day of Aunt Flo's visit and following. The other 2 weeks, well, I gotta work it. But good though.

I have had one fill of 2cc and had to unfill down to 1.6cc. Okay for now!

I was taken up to 2.5 in a 4cc band on monday and OH MY GOODNESS...can I tell a difference. Sliming all the time...no matter how much I chew. It doesn't always come up so I think I am where I need to be I think this is what restriction is all about.

Yuck, I don't want to slime, but I still feel like I don't really have any restriction. I am still hungry after 4oz. Mostly all Protein. Guess I'll go back for another. Thanks for the input.

I'm sitting at 1.5cc in a 4cc band - not enough - I had 2cc's but was choked off so he took .5cc out which isn't enough restriction. Will schedule another small fill sometime within the next month or so.

I have 4.75ml in a 10ml (same as c.c.) band. I have GREAT restriction in the morning..LOL. It's the rest of the day that is an issue! I am going for my 7th fill on the 20th Oct. Not a huge amount I hope, as I had an overfill last time and so don't want to go through that again. I am thinking it will probably only take me to 5ml. But its not the amount that is in there that matters its the restriction it gives I guess.

I didn't realize bands would have different total limits that it can be filled; Did your surgeon ask you what size band fill you wanted? I was under the impression that there was only one size band....:thumbup:

these are pretty old posts, the 4cc band was in more common usage a couple fo years ago. I have one, I think its got 2.8cc in it, probably a bit less now as it hasnt been filled in well over a year. I could use a teeny tiny top up probably.

I have 6.5cc in a 9cc band. Good restriction. Went up to 7cc and was way to much. Unable to keep anything down with that much. Im down 34 pounds since Dec 3rd.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
