So is 5CC too much to start out with in a 11 cc band? I thought that was too much but I drank some Water and it went down ok. She said the normal cc is 8 in a 11 cc band.

I get a my first fill in 3 wks and was told today it would be 2 cc in a 10 cc band. She said my next fill after that would also be 2 cc.

I thought it would be 2 cc but when she said 5 cc I did not argue and when the Water went down without trouble I was ok with it. LOL..I guess when I start to actually eat something then I will know.

Do you have a lapband or a realise band?

Then that makes sense. Typically people with Realize bands need larger amounts of fill to feel restriction than those with Lapbands. Something to do with it being a low pressure band. I have even heard of people with the Realize band having more fill in than the band is actually designed to hold.

I have the Realize band too and my first fill was 5 cc. I go for my next fill on the 25th and I have no idea how much he will put in! I have had some restriction with the 5 cc's.

I'm in Huntsville. I am still able to eat most anything I want. I do have an issue with any kind of meat once its reheated. And just a week ago I had my first real stuck episode on a bite of steak. Seemed to be going fine at first, but the colder the meat got, the harder it was to go down. I don't know if its all im my head or not, but the past couple weeks when it has been 95+ out, I seemed to have more restriction. Weird. This thing is definatley a learning process!

      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.

        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!
