1.5cc in a 4cc band and I feel like I'm at the fabled sweet spot. I was at 2 ccs twice, and was miserable both times

3.16 in a 10cm band. I never had restriction nor do I have any food intolerances. I think I got a bootleg band:(

My highest comfortable fill is 1.8cc in a 4 cc band.

I was recently at 2.0cc (again) and was miserable for 3 weeks until my unfill...reflux was horrible, and my esophagus was irratated.

Now Im unfilled (yet, again) for 4 weeks and on Nexium and Reglan.

I told doc no more overfills dammit!

I'm 2. in a 4cc band, probably could use more, but I've been overfilled before and it's no fun, it was quite miserable. It must be time for a slight fill though, because for the first time since being banded I'm starting to get hungry and I don't like that feeling either.

I have the cousin band hich holds 9cc and have 6.5 cc in it. I think this is my "sweet spot" fingers crossed

I cant eat meat of any kind, bread, fruit, (mashed banana is fine) rice, Pasta unless I chew it to death. And im losing weight fine. my downfall is mints like altoids, I swear I wont eat any each day then cave and eat lots of them, so they are slowing my weight loss a bit but I shall battle on against the cravings.

      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!
