Hiya.

I have 10.25cc's in my 14cc APL band and I have really good restriction. I got my last fill almost 3 months ago and have been super restricted until about 2 weeks ago and now the restriction it is starting to come and go, just like it did before I went in for my last fill. I have a fill appointment on Aug 26th for another fill under flouro.

I have 12cc in a 14cc band. Finally fill a little restricition, but not all the way there. Getting scared this may not work. had surgery on 11/28/07. Please help

I know I worry about running out of adjustment before I get restriction too, but my nurse that does my fills told me they can go a little beyond it's rated capacity. I don't know how much 'a little' is but I am hoping I don't need to go that far before I feel restriction to find out.

I had my 14cc band put in on 4/23. Had a fill yesterday and am now up to 8 cc's. I started feeling some restriction @ 7.5 so yesterday's fill was only .5 cc's. We will see how this goes, I have another fill in two weeks only if I haven't lost between 3-4 lbs, if I have then they said to return in 3 weeks.

Big dan,

I definitely have to chew well now, but I'm still capapble of eating more than a cup. I think with my next adjustment and increasing the intensity of my workouts I'll get there.

I think what I looking for is a sense of fullness when I eat. Something that says you've had enough, rather than me saying you've had enough and backing away. I want to use those two things together

Ok, so I was banded on June 17 this year. I have a 14cc band. I just had my 2nd fill on Monday. I am up to about 6cc's. I have had absolutley NO RESTRICTION!!! However I think yesterday I felt for the first time what it is to have "something stuck". It didn't feel good at all. But it only lasted a short time & I was able to finish my meal. I do get fuller on less, but I think that has a lot to do with changing my eating habits in general. I am now eating "normal portions" for the most part. In fact now when I go for fast food I get a kids meal & am satisfied. But still haven't lost since surgery. I need to start working out. I know it's no excuse but I have been waiting for the kids to go back to school. Although I could take them on a walk with me, they are 6 & 8.

Enough of my ranting. I am hoping to find my "sweet spot" at my next fill next month.

Best wishes to all!

You had 7.75cc's added?! That seems extreme. Are you sure you are not at a total of 7.75cc's so it would have been about a 2cc fill?

Hello all, I hope I'm not celebrating too early, but dare I say it.....
I've hit my sweet spot at about 12.75cc. or 13ccs. I had a fill yesterday and was on liquids only. Today I'm on soft and call finally tell a difference. I'm satisfied with a little yogurt, and 1 soft boiled egg. OMG!, please keep supporting me. I'm so excited. I actually feel satisfied and realize ok, your done, don't eat any more. So hang in there big dan

littleannie · 09-03-2008, 04:18 PM

Thanks and congrats! I have a little over a week until my next fill. I hope it is close to my 'sweet spot'.

Hi all. I am currently at 10 cc's and am going in for another fill in a little over a week. HOping to get really good and restricted this time. I do have some, just not enough!

Big Dan · 09-11-2008, 07:19 PM

Well, I had my 4th fill today. Another 2cc's. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get restriction this time. Once I get to eat real food tomorrow I should find out.
