Ive had 3 fills



Recommended Posts

I've had 3 fills but only a combined total of 4cc. I have restriction with some foods but not all. I've only lost 12 pounds since my October surgery. how many cc's does it usually take?

Everyone is totally different on this but my DR said on average between 4.5 & 7cc, some more, some less.

I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. I started feeling restriction with my 3rd fill and after a consult with my nutritionist, I started to lose weight. Took me 6 fills to get to the green zone.

I have 9cc in my 14 cc band. No good restriction yet. Doctor says it will come. I didn't realize you can go up to 14 cc because band can stretch. He said I can come in every 2 weeks. I think you have to just wait it out. Everyone has a different stomach

I have a 14cc band, at the moment have 8cc in it and have been in greenzone for a while now with that amount. My surgeon said on average between 9 and 10cc in a 14cc band gets you where you need to be but everyone is different. It took about 8 or 9 fills over a six month period to get me to 8cc and I already had 4.8 cc put in on day of surgery so you can imagine how small of a fill I had each time I went in. It was a pain going in every two weeks for .2 or .3cc each time but I got there in the end. Some people are lucky enough with smaller amounts to get them to greenzone.

      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! 😞
