What Size Band And How Much Fluid?



Recommended Posts

I just got a fill today, I haven't had one since September last year! I now have 7cc in a 10cc band...I came home and drank a cup of coffee and I feel so full. I haven't had anything today except a Protein shake!! Did anyone else experience this? Maybe just maybe I can be in the green zone this time! What's your size and how Fluid did it take you to get to the green zone????? :))

I also have a 10cc band and I had my first green zone at 6cc. Then I lost a bit of weight and felt like it was just staying exactly the same, no gain and no loss for weeks and even months. I got a fill to 7.7 and lost quite a bit more weight and then of course it leveled off again. At that point I was 155 pounds and 145 would be normal BMI for me. I went and got 0.3cc (total now 8cc) and lost 15 pounds in a couple of months...I have since leveled off at 140 and I am just thrilled.

I have a size 10 band too and I am filled somewhere between 6.5 and 6.8. The PA said I have 6.5 but when I add up all my adjustments I show 6.8. I haven't had a fill since September also and don't feel like I am in the green zone either. I am still hungry within 2 to 2.5 hours of eating. I sure am hoping she will give me one when I go in next month! I hope this will be your sweet spot too!

I have a 10cc band with 5cc's at the moment. I have only had one fill. I saw my dr last week and she didnt feel I need another fill because i was doing well. I was fine with that. I dont get hungry in between meals and I cant eat a lot of food. Im pretty happy at the moment

I had some Soup earlier and I can tell the restriction has totally gotten better since my fill! I ate a little of it and feel full/satisfied! It's wonderful I hope it last though and it's not just because I'm swollen from the fill! Fingers crossed! I was the same way! Hungry all the time so I would just eat what I had in the house that would go down easy and keep me satisfied at the moment then 2 hrs later I was hungry again!!! What helps me is I set my phone alarm for every 2.5 hrs to make me eat something with Protein in it and I felt fine doing that and wasn't just hungry all the time!!!! Good luck ladies and I hope that you can get a fill so you can have a good restriction soon!!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
