4cc filled to 5cc



Recommended Posts

I told my dr that i didnt think my fill wasnt tight enought and that she needed to do an aggresive fill she seamed to be annoyed and and then filled my 4cc band to 5cc. I couldnt even swallow my own spit. had to get an unfill....should she have filled it that full

I went from 4cc to 6cc without any issues. This past Thursday he gave me another fill of 1cc, so I'm now at 7cc's. Everyone is different I suppose.:rolleyes:

Well..... I guess you asked for it!

I know that bands techncially can hold a little more than their stated capacity but I would think its a little risky for both you AND your band to be overfull. Although I hear your frustration - I have a 4cc band too - it had 3cc in it for years and years whilst I maintained. I had to unfill it almost a year ago now for a big surgery and I'm now back to 3.4cc and can barely feel a thing restriction wise.

had my first fill Saturday, 4cc's...it took about 30 seconds. Super fast, no pain at all. I am on liquid diet through tomorrow, and hope it gives me more restriction. Right now, stomach is just gurgling a LOT, and I am worrying that it worked........

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
