I have read a lot of posts about having a 9cc, 14cc bands and I was wondering how many fills could the bands possibly take? is it possible to fill it all the way and still not get the restriction you need...I just dont get it? Sorry I am new to this and my first eval is tomorrow...

Amy, thanks for that info. I have the AP-L band and have 10cc out of the 14 now and was wondering for a lifetime about whether they would max out the 14. Thanks.

I asked my surgeon the same thing. I have the AP large, which holds 12-14 cc. He said he's filled one (not in a patient, but just to see) with more than 60cc! He's never had a patient max out their band, so no worries.

Amy

I was filled to my max 2 weeks ago and couldn't swallow so she removed .2 cc

I still feel tight but am worried to remove any...

I am constantly pushing out burps and spitting frothy clear spit to relieve my discomfort.

I go this week to get another .2cc removed, i hope this does the trick!

Rednonela,

Did your fill work? Has your doctore told you what happens when you reach the max of fills? Are we on our own there after with out the help of the band?
