Band tightness?
To all the ones that their Band is tight or to tight my question is this?How many fills have you had and how many cc are in your Band?And what size is your Band?
I have a 14 cc Band and 10 cc in it and I am still not tight enough,I can eat whatever I want,I am beginning to worry if I ever feel that green zone!
Please give me some feedback.
Thank you

I have a 10cc band, I have 5.5 cc in it. I have lost 125 pounds and was banded on 07/22/2010.
I can eat pretty much everything I want too.
Being banded isnt about the band "stopping" you from eating.
The band keeps hunger at bay when we are in the green zone. You eat the portion of dense protein recommended by your surgeon and how long does that satisfy you? How long does it take before your stomach growls again? If you can go about 4 hours on 4 ozs of protein and a little vegs etc then you are in the green zone.

Some people need an almost full band. But it is also important to realse that the band should not physically be stopping you eating.
I can eat everything I want. If I take it slowly, I can also eat quite a lot. All the band shoud be doing is making you eat slowly so that the sensation of hunger is dimmed.
