4.5 ccs for a first fill?



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill this past Monday... I said I was feeling zero restriction at all since I was no longer sore, so I was given 4.5 ccs in my 14 cc band... is this common/normal? Just wondering because people seem to have a lot less...

My first fill I was given 3.5cc & two weeks later I was still having no restriction and gained 2lbs in 2 weeks so I got another fill. I have ALOT more restriction. I believe I'm at about 5cc in a 10cc band now.

My doc tried to do 3.5 CC, but I freaked out when the Water he gave me to drink didn't go down right away. So he removed a little. I wish I had gotten 4.5 CC as that is pretty much where I'm at after the second fill and still not feeling any restriction. Appetite seems to be the same as pre surgery.

I'm not going to be a wimp in the future. As long as liquids go down, they can put as much saline in me as they think is appropriate.

But, I have to say, that fill you got does seem rather large for a first fill. Personally, I think they are doing you a service though by not wasting your time.

      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!
