my first fill was 4ccs in a 10cc band.

it does seem like a big band for your size but my surgeon told me that no matter the persons size everyones is different inside and sizes of stomachs very! so the 14cc band probably fit you alot better than the 10cc.

i was told to not gulp water down but it goes through ur pouch pretty quick!

me also!! i was told i had a 14cc and my first fill my surgeon told me he put the 10cc in!!!lol

hello everyone, i think this thread is great!! i weighed myself this morning and im at 308!!!day of surgery i was 361!! so i feel really good about my weightloss so far. its only been 3months.i cant believe the results! im just so happy i had to share!! hope you are all doing great!!

i have 6.5ccs and i have good restriction so far! im so glad that i have it after only 2fills! i see sometimes it can take 4or5fills to get good restriction!

im sorry to hear your having problems!! you might need a slight unfill. thats weird you only have 2ccs and your that tight! but everyones different!! i hope you feel better soon! you should really go see your dr.

im sorry you are having a tough time lately!! i think you should talk to your dr.about whats going on and maybe he can help you to get back on track with no pain! you have lost alot of weight so far.congrats!!! i hope you get it taken care of soon.good luck!!

are you full after each meal untill the next meal? it sounds like you are at your sweet spot to me. maybe your chewing really well like your spose to and thats why you dont have stuck episodes and throwing up!

i was told that i have the larger band in me. so i assumed it was the 14cc but i guess i better check huh? lol i havnt set up another fill apt.yet he said wait a few weeks and see how i feel.its been a little over a week and i feel the same so im going to have to set up another i think.

juliansmom: i thought that you had a 14cc band? how long do you have to wait inbetween fills?

i just had my first fill of 4cc. and feel the exact same. do you guys get your fills using fluoroscopy?

well i hope the 4th is the one for you!! i just had my first fill last week and he put 4ccs in and so far i feel the same! so im hoping the next on will be a little better! take care:)

great job!! thats so awesome!!! 61pounds in 3months is fantastic!! some people dont lose that in the first year! congrats keep up the great work!! do you have good restriction right now?
