Fill / Unfill Of Less Than .5 Cc's?



Recommended Posts

I feel like my band is slightly too full. My last fill was .5 cc's. I barely had restriction prior to that fill but now I feel like I may be too tight. I can barely get all my Protein down, let alone any veggies or fruit. I've slow down my eating dramatically and take very small bites. My doctor is going to take a little Fluid out of my band this week.

I'm curious is anyone had a a fill or unfill of less than .5 cc's and if so, did you notice a difference? I feel like I am just the slightest bit too full and am curious if others felt this.

It doesn't take much to push us over the line with a fill, so yes, as little as 0.5cc could have been too much for you. Your plan to have a little removed sounds very sensible!

You know for me, the first two weeks after my most recent fills, it took a second week to feel normal again. I opted for Soups, yogurts, soft mushies even into second week. Which I am in now. Just today I had some deviled ham, slowly. Had hearty lentil Soup from my mom and dad's house...yum! Felt like a great meal going down. So I should be on the road to regular foods.

To add, I asked for 1/4cc more fill. So I think I'm at 5.75

I get 0.2cc fills now, and I do notice a slight difference with each.

I'm so glad that others opt for conservative fills. I have good insurance and that's a blessing. Otherwise I couldn't do this. I definitely can fill this 1/4cc adjustment. Makes a huge difference! I am in green zone!

      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.

      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!
