10th Fill



Recommended Posts

So I just had my 10th fill, lost another 5 lbs! Down a total of 46 lbs since surgery 6 months ago!

When the lady did my fill today under fluro, she said all I could hold was .3 cc's. just curious as to what that means???? It didn't really register with me what she said until I had already left. Any ideas as to what she means???

Thanks y'all!

She put 0.3cc of Fluid into your band. As you get closer to green fills become smaller and smaller. It's not unusual for old bandsters to get 0.1cc tweaks for instance.

Yes, I know and understand that she put .3 cc's in my band. My question was, why she would say "that's all I could take". Like that's all it would hold...

I'd say through the Fluro she could tell any more then 0.3cc would make you too tight

0.3cc is 1/3 of a milliliter.

If you have had 10 fills what is your total amount if you don't mind me asking, and what size is your band.

I have 2.5 in a 10cc band and I think I'm finally entering my green zone.

Good luck =)

Wow! You're lucky! I have 4cc's in a 10cc band and i still feel like i can tolerate too much & am hungrier a lot often than i feel i should.

My nurse said i should expect GREEN around 5-7cc's..

My weight loss has been slow, only 14lbs in 6 weeks.

Although i do expect to reach goal by new years.

I have 10.6 cc's in a 14cc band. I was banded 2/28/13.

Hmm, 10.6 CC is a bit. I'm guessing she is just trying to play it safe with the 0.3 CC fill.

I'm not far behind you at about 8 CC, but I couldn't possibly take any more fills. Just more proof to me that everyone requires a different amount of fills.

Thanks, my surgeon thinks one more fill and I'll hit the green. I get my fills from true results and then seen my surgeon a week later. I feel good restriction but not enough to keep my full long enough.., I think another .2 or .3 cc and I'll be great!!

It took me ages to get on the green zone and I'm at the top of my band.

When you say top of your band does that mean it is completely full? I am 9 in a 10cc and still feel like I need more restriction..Scared. Anyone else in this situation?

I'm at 2.5 and I believe I could be tweaked but that's about it. Last visit I opted for no fill since I was doing so well. I have a 10 cc band

      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!
