Filled At 8 1/2



Recommended Posts

I just had a fill a couple days ago, I am now at 8 1/2. I can't believe I am filled that much. Is anyone else at my fill level or more? I feel good.

I had gotten up to seven cc in a 14cc band this past summer, but it was to tight and I had to have Fluid taken off to avoid complications.

I know as you loose more the band loosens up wich is why you get more fills. It seems so elusive that green zone

I am at 9 ccs in a 11 cc band....and I know Im in the green !!!

It feels so good not to be thinking of food all the time...

Heck before when I use to diet...and even when I wasnt in the green...I was finished with one meal and wondering what I could have for my next....

I have 8cc in a 10cc band and I'm close to green. Been ramping up for 3 months; had surgery in sept this year. The swallow studies have shown I have a very small esophagus so have needed quite a bit of Fluid to get me here. I think everyone's anatomy is slightly different so we all need varied amounts of fluid. At least ONE body part is small! :-)

I am at 9cc's in a 11cc band as well. Just remember even .5 cc's can make a big difference. I've been told not to worry about how much is in there. I am in the green zone currently.

I have 8cc in a 10cc band. I was banded in September this year and really am so thankful.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
