How many fills to get to the green zone?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I got my 2nd fill today, I received 2cc's which now has me at 4cc's. I certainly hope I have more restriction because with the first fill practically nothing. I would be curious to know on a 10cc band what was your sweet spot? What amount of fill did you receive in order to get to that sweet spot?

For me I am on my 4th fill, my first two were both .75CC, the third was 1cc and 4th was 1cc. total of 3.5CC. I have lost the most weight so far with the 3rd fill after a month I have lost 10lbs. Next week I am scheduled for either an adjustment or stay as is. I think I am happy with the progress with this last fill and may either be on the green zone or the edge. It is for sure tighter in the morning than the evening. but each person is different. hope this helps and good luck on your weight loss journey.

I am on 6cc and still not getting what I want from it. Going back on Tuesday to discuss further. Haven't lost any weight from initial 10-14 llbs. V disappointing. Had my op in January. Hope it starts to work soon.

i had the 14cc band and for me it was 10cc but then i had my TT and they took everything out and 10 was too much and 7.5 was a good place....

but i had to get my band removed a month ago due to a slip after 8.5 years. I got sick and threw up and bam... slip. So it's all up to me now.

Best of luck to ya

I went in for my 3rd fill today, I have a 10cc band and am currently at 5.2cc. I lost 5 pounds, no idea how this happened- LOL. I am at almost 30 lbs since surgery. I know that everyone is different and what works for some may not work for others, I just want to get to the not feeling hungry point. Hopefully this fill puts me in the green zone, my doc fills under Fluro, said barium went down good and it is a "wait and see kinda thing", he did tell me that the majority of his patients hit their green zone between the 3rd or 4th fill, in cc's it is about 5-6.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
