I was banded February 18th 2013. I've managed to lose approximately 85 pounds. I have 6.5 cc in a 10cc band. I am currently able to eat normal size bites of food. I really do not chew thoroughly and I have never thrown up or had a pb or stuck episode. I am was wondering if I needed to get a fill because I think that being able to take a normal bite and swallow with no issues maybe I may not have enough restriction. FYI I had 7 cc in and they removed .25 because I was too tight. I'm not hungry in between meals but I do take normal bites...I can eat 5 oz of food but I choose to stay with 4oz. I consume 700 to 800 calories a day...to fill or not to fill that is my question thank you please remember to be kind.

Why fight success? IMO-You should only get a fill if you are feeling hungry between meals. You sound like you're in a great green zone and we're all envious.

I agree with TMF. You're not hungry between meals and have lost a lot of weight' date=' it sounds like Green Zone to me. Personally, I wouldn't risk getting too tight with another fill.[/quote']

Thank you all...I don't know what I would do without u....

      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.

        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!
