What is your current fill in your 10cc Small AP Band?

Hey everyone,

I'm just curious as to what everyone has in their small AP Bands. I had my surgery three months ago and yesterday my doc's office took me to 6cc's. I asked what was the most they had seen in my band and they said 8cc's.

I have 4.5cc in my band and I have very good restriction. MY first fill was 3cc and I felt nothing. What a big difference a little bit can make.

I had a 4 cc prefill during surgery. I was given 2 more cc's a month after surgery. Then last week they gave me 2 more which put me at 8cc's. 10 miles past the doctors office, I had throwed up about 10 times. I went right back to the doctor, they said I was too full and took almost 1cc out. So I am a lil over 7cc, and feeling very restricted. The weight seems to be coming off though...

Unless the surgeon put some in during OR (and I heard that is really quite common with the AP bands), I don't have any in there. Haven't had a fill yet, OR was June 21st. Losing about 10# per month, don't feel the need to get filled yet.

I went today for my 2nd fill. The 1st I had 4cc today they went up to 6cc. I had to go back an hour later becuase I was in so much pain! SO they put me to 5cc now. I drank my liquids and when I went to have soup tonight I almost vomited. I think I drank too fast. At 4cc I felt restricted but no too much. The doctor said that after a couple days it will stretch some.
