Thanks everybody!!!!

It is normal to get fills (IF NEEDED) every 4 to 6 weeks??

How far apart should fills be?

Thanks guys for the feed back

Does anyone else get shoulder pain? I'm not sure if its my new fill or if it even has anything to do with my lap band.

Thanks guys for all the feed back.I have a 14cc band and I'm at 8cc.somedays I feel im at my green zone,other days I can eat more than I should.I just got a fill 7days ago and I don't feel any different but my doctor told me to wait 2 weeks to a month to see if the fill will kick in.

So ive heard it takes about 2 weeks for a fill to kick in and Ive also heard it takes a month or so to heal from getting a fill.is this true???

I have a 14cc band filled at 7cc and I THINK I'm in my greenzone.How long did it take everyone to get to their greenzone and when you did how many cc were you?

Congrats!!!!!!

14cc band with 6.5cc

so its been 4 months since my surgery and ive been scared to do crunches or any ab workouts.so I finally started to do an ab workout and after I was finished my stomach felt kinda weird....not a sore workout feeling it was something else weird.it didnt hurt just really weird.Has anyone else have this happend to them?

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for the feed back! Its good to see and hear from all you 14cc brander's.

Ive been banded since July 31 of this year I'm at 6.5cc in my band.

I have a 14cc band.I was wondering who else does and how many cc's it took to get to the green zone for everybody?

So I know I have to take vitamins but all the vitamins ive been trying have been making me feel so sick.so finally my friend (who doesn't have the lap band) told me I should try prenatal vitamins.just to be clear I'm NOT pregnant but these are the only I don't feel sick by.Does anyone else take prenatal vitamins? or does anyone think its okay for me to be taking them?

Thanks for the feed back. I was getting worried because my doctor said he has never filled more then 9cc in a 14cc band because most to all of his patients get to the greenzone before then. I'm at 6.5 so I was getting worried this wasn't working for me.

I understand totally! I didn't tell a lot of people and the people I did tell don't like hearing about it.I try to kept to myself but its hard.I'm glad I found this website.

I was banded on July 31st of this year and I have a 14cc band.Ive had 3 fills and now at 6.5cc.I feel like that's a lot and I still feel hungry :/ is this normal?
