Getting A Fill?

Have an appointment for a fill in 2 weeks. Not sure if he will give me one but I was hoping he might give me a tiney tiny one. Do you know what the lowest is? Also how full can you go? Of coarse I will ask my surgeon these questions. Just wondering others experienced. I have about 8.5 in a 10cc band. (lap band not realize). Just need this last 20-25 pounds gone. I don't want to get overfilled of coarse. Right now I have minimal restriction. I can eat low calories get all my protein in. I eat all proteins except eggs. I don't eat bread often once I awhile I have rasin bread. Anyway please share your fill experiences.

Looking at syringe I would imagine .1 cc is about as low as one could see. .2-.3 should do the trick if you're already feeling some restriction.

Everyone will be different with how much saline can be added. It will depend on how much pressure the stomach is pushing back with? All stomach linings will be different in thickness.

I dont know how much restriction you can have, but Im sure up to your band limit. I have 10cc's in a 14cc band and are 31 weeks pregnant. I got a fill the week I got pregnant (of course I didnt know yet) and had decent restriction. Before my last fill I went almost 6 months after a .5cc fill and felt great until I lost enough for another cc. Our bodies are all different so maybe a slight bump for you will put you right where you need to be.

Good luck on that last little bit and hope you are in the green zone for a long time to come.
