How Much Fluid In Each Fill?!?



Recommended Posts

I'm having another fill tomorrow...I believe I have 5.5 in a 10cc band but thats because I had an unfill back in march. How much saline does it take to make a difference? Some people say the littlest bit makes a big difference!? So like .5 or so could really make a difference for me? Just wondering?

It's different for everyone (bet you've never heard that line before! :P )

My last fill was just 0.5cc and it made a difference. Now I am satisfied on smaller portions and do not find myself looking for food within three to four hours. Before this fill, I was eating progressively more and the scales had stalled.

I feel as though a 1cc fill would have been too much and I would have ended up going back for an unfill. I generally rely on my surgeon's advice and experience when determining how much fill I should get - except for the two visits where I have said I didn't want any fill. 13 months out and I have not had to go in for an unfill, I have lost 60kg, so I guess he really does know what he is doing!

That's awesome news!!! I think .05 would be just enough for me because I feel a little restriction but I can still eat breads and Pasta and rice when I'm chewing properly and I can get more than a cup but I still get things stuck sometimes like meat. I have been at a stand still on the scale for 3 long months I've been 188-184 I can't get off of it and I'm about to go crazy!!! 3 months is too long for no weight loss! Ugh! But this gives me hope!!! Thank you!!!!!

It all depends! I have read as little as .2 cc makes a difference. Goodluck, Karen

Ugh!!! So aggravating! 3 min before my appointment the doc office calls to tell me that the doctor was stuck in surgery and couldn't make it so now I have to wait 2 more weeks for when he comes back to town!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
