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........

      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! 😞
