I am going for my second fill tomorrow. I am 5 weeks post-op I had 2ccs put in at 4 weeks, but it did nothing. I am still able to eat a lot. I only had 2ccs put in because I am so scared to be so tight that I can't even swallow. I have a 10cc band. I would like suggestion from others with 10ccs bands. How much should I put in this time? How much do you have in your band and do you feel restriction? Thanks in advance.

you dont have to personally worry about how many cc's, thats for the dr to figure depending on how much food you can tolerate now. todat i had my 2nd fill which i have a total of 5cc's so im on the liquid stage but after my 1st fill i had 3.5ccs and i was able to eat alot and almost everything. make sure you wait about 15 mins after the fill and try to drink some Water to make sure everything goes down fine. i've notice sometimes you have to wait alot longer like a few hours. hope that helped. good luck tomorrow

i'm not really sure. right before my fill i started to feel a little pain on my side and wasn't sure if it was possible gas (literally 3 mins before my fill) just on liquids today, so i'll know more tomorrow and the next. just remember that everyones body is differenti would say just take things slowly. how much are you able to eat?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
