I can't tell you how relieved I am that I hadn't done wrong. I also found out recently that this same surgeon stopped doing fills on other people. I went for almost a year with him making me think it was me doing something wrong. It's been a year since my last fill because of trying to find a new surgeon. We are a military family and my doctors here told me I had to go to another base about 3 hours away. It seemed like one obstacle after another. But I did my research and found a local doctor, and I can't wait until Friday. Thanks for giving your thoughts. Hearing it from someone makes things seem not so bad

I found out not too long ago that I have a 14cc band. For over a year my surgeon told me that I had a 10cc band. Once my band got up to holding 8cc's my surgeon stopped giving me fills. He told me it was unsafe for me to have any more fills. I went 8 months without a fill. Then I met with the chief of the bariatric department, and he discovered that I had a 14cc band and it could really hold 15cc's. I moved from that location and I found a new surgeon that I go to meet Friday. Has anybody else had this problem? What would you do if you had this problem? I have been very down about this situation, but have a lot of hope for Friday's appointment. And I have no restriction, so that doesn't help either.

Today I went in for a band fill. I've always been told that I have the 10cc band. And after not having good results with my original surgeon, I switched to his chief of surgery. So, the chief of surgery comes in and tells me that he has been doing research and he thinks that I have a 14cc band. Sure enough, after testing my band I have a 14cc band. This is very upsetting. It's been 8 months since I have had a fill because my original surgeon didn't want to help me. This time the chief gave me 2cc's and now I am up to 10cc's. I really hope I get some restriction this time. I've never had any restriction with food and this is very discouraging since my surgery was over a year ago. Has any one had any of these problems? I would love to hear your story.
