How much will a 4cc band hold?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for letting me know your experience. Do you feel restriction now? I still don't think I'm particularly restricted. I can eat anything including bread without a problem and I never feel completely full. I just stop. Maybe I don't know what I'm trying to feel. I am losing well but it just doesn't seem like what was described to me. I don't have to eat small bites. Maybe I just need to be thankful and stop wondering about all the things I was told prior to surgery. It seems like most of the preop teaching and classes were not right in my case.

well I just had it done and I know last time he filled my half full 2cc's and I though hmmm its not that bad , but then after a few days about 6 it got tight. For a long itme it was good. Ive lost more weight and I think it naturally got loose. So give your band time Im sure it will tighten up. Im gonna wait and see if it will , and I know stress and exercise does it to me anyway . I cant eat chicken cause its too big and I do eat fast , adn confuse hunger for thirst

hmmm not really , I think that its the same as before, wich I thought is weird and my first fill was like that too and then it got tighter. I think Im like some others and I just stop before I have that uncomfortable feeling and Ive been slowing down more too.

      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! 😞
