Is it possible to over inflate the lap band?



Recommended Posts

So I'm sitting here getting ready for my fill on Friday when I calculate that I have 4cc'c in a 4cc band...

That would mean that I am at capacity..But I dont have restriction and want it desperately.

Is it possible to fill over the band's capacity? Would it rupture could it break if they put too much in??

Anyone know?

Hey Zen...is it possible they can go slightly over the actual band limit since there's Fluid in the tubing? I dunno...just a thought.

A 4 cc band? Wow...I didn't know they were still doing bands that small!

I have a 10 cc band. I ask my doctor that same question last year,and he told me yes they could go over by 2cc. At that time I was up to 8.5 got sick had 4 cc taken out. So I am scheduled to go not this fri but next fri to get another fill. I am only gonna ask for 2cc, do not want to be sick again.

I think I heard the tubing can hold 2cc before it even reached the band. .......but, do we all have different lengths of tubing between the port and the band?

Does the person who does your fills withdraw all the Fluid before doing the fill? The reason I ask is that maybe you don't have as much fluid in as you think...I have heard that from other people on this forum...

Yes my Doc takes the fluid out and puts it back in Your right even though I have had 2 fills and 1 pre-fill it may not equal 4cc because of the tubing

WOW! How did that feel? How did you know it burst? What did you have to do to fix it? That is really frightening! I also have a 4CC band, (from Mexico). I currently have 2.5 cc.

My surgeon said they can overfill a band to a certain degree. Not sure how much, but some.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
