    BigBrownRon reacted to L12 in "sweet spot", how many cc's to reach yours?   
    My sweet spot (when I first reached it) was around 7ccs in a 14cc band. That stopped most of my hunger, and prevented me from eating a lot--normal, small-sized portions, but no more than that unless I wanted it to come back up and/or make me VERY uncomfortable. Since I was first banded, I have slowly gone up to about 9.5ccs to keep my hunger down. Although I'm going in for a very tiny fill tomorrow, I've been maintaining my weight with between 9 and 10ccs in my band for over a year now.

    You need to look for another Doctor. The whole purpose of the lap band is to feel a restriction when eating. If he does not want to do a fill, then you need to find another Doctor. Tell him that he needs to go back to training about the lap band since he does not know what he is doing.

    BigBrownRon reacted to MrsShannonDennis in Are you supposed to feel your port?   
    Totally normal! You will feel your port unless you have tons of belly fat but even then I'm sure you can push hard enough to find it. My tummy is super flat now and I can feel mine BAD, I call it my "Baby's Foot". Once you get to your goal weight, you can get a flatter port. I'm planning on doing it soon. Its a little less that $2000 for my surgeon to do it. The Fluid I'm sure is just from the incision being so fresh. I had bandages over mine for about 8 days so I didnt see anyting. Once they came off, there was some moisture. Hope this helps!

    Okay... I know this has taken awhile but I finally got my port checked out by the band doctor today. It got rotated one direction 3 degrees and rotated another direction 15 degrees. Nothing too serious and doctor isn't even considering port revision surgery but it will make fills more difficult. Doctor says he'll only use flouro at this point. That is fine by me and hopefully my medical insurance will pick up the extra cost, at least they said they would a few weeks ago if it is submitted worded correctly (without the word obesity attached to it). The doctor decided to do a small fill today too. He was able to pull out .8 cc from the initial 1 cc he had origonally gave me and he added .4 cc to that totalling 1.2 cc's. I haven't tested it too much and stuck with liquids and Soups at this point but wanted to update everyone on the port situation. Thanks, Teresa
