What is your current fill in your 10cc Small AP Band?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I'm just curious as to what everyone has in their small AP Bands. I had my surgery three months ago and yesterday my doc's office took me to 6cc's. I asked what was the most they had seen in my band and they said 8cc's.

I have 4.5cc in my band and I have very good restriction. MY first fill was 3cc and I felt nothing. What a big difference a little bit can make.

I had a 4 cc prefill during surgery. I was given 2 more cc's a month after surgery. Then last week they gave me 2 more which put me at 8cc's. 10 miles past the doctors office, I had throwed up about 10 times. I went right back to the doctor, they said I was too full and took almost 1cc out. So I am a lil over 7cc, and feeling very restricted. The weight seems to be coming off though...

Unless the surgeon put some in during OR (and I heard that is really quite common with the AP bands), I don't have any in there. Haven't had a fill yet, OR was June 21st. Losing about 10# per month, don't feel the need to get filled yet.

I went today for my 2nd fill. The 1st I had 4cc today they went up to 6cc. I had to go back an hour later becuase I was in so much pain! SO they put me to 5cc now. I drank my liquids and when I went to have Soup tonight I almost vomited. I think I drank too fast. At 4cc I felt restricted but no too much. The doctor said that after a couple days it will stretch some.

      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.

      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!
