Is it possible to still need a fill with 8cc already?



Recommended Posts

I am not sure how I am supposed to feel but with 8 cc I feel like I need another fill. I eat the cup if food but I feel like I can eat more. There are times when I can just stop and be ok with the cup of food and there are times when I feel I need more. Is my head really that our of control?

Unfortunately we can't answer that for you. Only you can tell if it's head hunger or real hunger. But don't expect the band to stop you from eating more than a cup of food- that's not it's job. It's your job to stop at a cup of food and the band's job to keep you satiated on it for 4 or more hours.

Best wishes.

I am not sure if this will help you, or not. But, I have an AP Large Lap Band that will hold 14 cc; just had a fill on Wednesday, Jan 9th ===> I am now at 9 cc.

I ask my surgeon about it. He said that it depends upon your current weight. The example he used was a 9 cc fill in a 14 cc band is different for a person that weighs 200 pounds than it is for a person that weighs 100 pounds.

I think sometime people can kind of get addicted to getting fills. They never want to feel hungry. It's okay to feel like you could eat more, but are you satisfied with not eating more? Are you extremely hungry between meals? I sometime think we forget that it's okay to be a little hungry. However, even at 8cc you may not be where you need to be. It's such a personal decision! Only you can determine whether it's time for another fill. Who knows, maybe a small tweak will get you where you feel satisfied!

      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!
