Getting A Fill?



Recommended Posts

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.

      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! 😞
