My Dr put in 3.6 cc at the time of surgery.

I had 4.2 ml put in at surgery, two weeks later another . 8ml, two weeks after that .5 ml and this Tuesday I will be getting my third fill, I have some restriction and don't feel as hungry between meals, not in green zone yet. A lot of it is still self control and learning for me at the moment, some days harder than others but I wouldn't change a thing. Best decision I made this lapband!

Looks like ticker is missing part of the text, remove it and real do it again. May fix issue

Mine was empty at surgery. Got my first fill (5 cc's) 1 month later. But I still felt some restriction.... and since I tend to be a "puker" (lol).... I wasn't taking any chances on overeating. lol Plus, I'm determined to reach my goal because I've had it with this mess of being obese so I stick to the diet whether I feel restriction or not. :-)

My props to you all that can stick to the diet despite feeling no restriction! However, my will power sucks...or I would have lost weight on my own and didn't have to get the lap band to begin with :(

It's not so much that it's will power as it is fear of throwing up. lol Plus, after going through all this surgery (I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time) and losing a month of work, I'm just stubborn and determined to see that number on the scale drop. :-)

Got my first fill today - 1cc...apparently I already had 3 cc in there from the surgery but felt no restriction at all :(. I have another appt in three weeks to check on my progress.

Does anyone know how much Fluid it takes to get into the green zone??

Very very different for everyone....different bodies, different band sizes, there's just not. Standard amount. Some people feel they've hit green with no fills, some max their band out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
