4 tenths of a CC??



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what to compare that to? I don't think I will notice a difference once I'm back on solids.

4 tenths of a cc is 0.4cc. Is that what you have in your band at the moment or was it a recent fill?

My last two fills have been 0.1cc each, and I definitely felt the last one. 0.4cc is probably a little bit conservative but that's not a bad thing. My first fill ever was 0.5cc.

It was my last fill. Dr had put in half a cc under fluoroscopy. Said it was too tight. I was at 10.5 before the adjustment he gave to me. He said I'm right there at the green zone. Maybe even too close to the red. He had me drink 3 cups of Water before I left. He wanted to make sure I didn't burp or hiccup as that would show him I'm too tight. I'm just used to my surgeon who was more aggressive w my fills. But I had to be unfilled 3 times before. Since I'm pretty much near my goal. I get all my fills under X-ray to avoid slip damage to my band.

Even .1cc can make a huge difference. I've had actually had a .3cc fill and had to have .2cc removed because I was too tight.

Thank you for your input. It makes perfect sense now. Smaller fills so I don't go from yellow to red. Which had happened twice. I DID hit my goal back in July but it was by being too tight and not eating enough. Now I eat small and stay full 5 hours.

hello. No still no restriction. I'm under the belief that I have a leak. I had great restriction a couple of months ago. Now I feel like i did when I had just got banded. Total bandster hell right now. I've also put on 23 pounds. I was already at my goal. Now this.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
