No restriction after first fill



Recommended Posts

I just had my first fill about a month ago and my surgeon put 2 cc's into my band. I am not feeling restriction and I requested to go in sooner for my next fill. Has anyone experienced this? How many cc's before you start feeling a difference?

Me either and they put 5cc's in mine the first time.

No one can tell you how many cc's before you feel restriction- everyone is different. Are you going in within a month for your next one? They had me at 8 weeks, now they have me at a month.

My friend has 6cc's in hers and she right where she needs to be. I have 9cc's in mine and I still don't have enough restriction. This is why I say it is different for everyone. Be sure to eat healthy, track your intake (fitday.com), and exercise. You can at least be getting your body ready for the change while youre waiting for the restriction to kick in.

Keep your chin up and don't get disheartened! It will happen! :)

I went thru the same issue and fell off the plan and noticed I was gaining weight again stick to how you were instructed to eat and do not deviate from it. Good luck

I think most people dont feel alot of restriction (if any) on their first fill. Just be sure you're going back once a month to continue your fills. I feel like had they filled me every month instead of every 8-12 weeks at the beginning, I would be in a much better place now. Instead, they waited till about after my 5th fill (because I had GAINED weight) to start filling me once a month.

Chin up and dont worry- you'll be where you need to be soon!

Some people go without a fill at all and have restriction. I have a 10cc band with 7.2 cc in it and I dont have much restriction at all but when they put 7.5 cc it was too tight I couldnt even swallow my siliva so its different for everyone.

      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! 😞
