Lap Band post op Update, 2nd Fill, Lunch today, 9CC band

hey hunny, dnt worry bout the 9cc, i have the same....and now u are at 6cc, you tend to need that bit less of fills to get to to that sweet spot. Everbody is so different when it comes to restriction, eg at 5cc in my 9cc band, my band totally shut on me. but my friend who has the same is at 6.7cc and was too restricted aswell. xxx

My band is 9cc and at my 3rd fill I was up to 5cc. I will get 1 cc in Jan and be at 6cc also - my PA says that is pretty much when most people start to feel the true effects of the band and have to rely less on will power. Don't sweat your fill volume - they should slow the pace down now.

i have a 10cc band (Allergan). 6cc is plenty for me, sometimes I'm even too tight. Don't be dissappointed. You wouldn't want to wear shoes that were too big for you - the surgeons decide at the time of your surgery what size you should have according to your anatonomy. bigger isn't necessarily better. you still have lots of room if you need more fills. As you get closer they don't do big fills because a little means a lot!

Your lunch sounds good. Good luck with the restriction...
