I have 6 or 7 cc's in my 9 cc band. I  don't remember exactly. Everyone is different though in regards to how much it takes before you get restriction. I was at 5 cc's I think before I felt good restriction.

depends on your band type and size. for example, there's a lap band or a realize band and they hold between 6-12 ccs total I think, so the bands that hold more usually require more before you start feeling restricted. my 10 cc realize band was inflated to 4ccs on the first fill- my surgeon said that's what's needed for the entire thing to have any inflation around the whole band, but from there he would go by .5 cc increments and usually people had restriction between 4.5-7 at first, often needing more after they lost some weight. don't be discouraged if you have no restriction at 2 ccs or even at four, five, or seven. ultimately, you will get there and it's important to go slow on the process. ask your surgeon about your band type, how much it holds, and what his usual averages are too, that will help
As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly!
