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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
