Hi guys I have couple of questions I'm I

At 7.5 cc in 10cc band I had my fill a week ago in still doing liquids because I tried thicker and slimed and it was not cool like yesterday I was able to have protein shake a creamy soup I even had a Jamba juice smoothie with extra protein today well diff story I woke up and drank my hot tea which helps loosen the band in my opinion since I'm tighter in the morning and it was all hell I couldn't keep anything down without it gurgling and bothering me I find chewing ice helps the inflammation in stomach from pb or sliming or it coming up whatever u wanna call it have any of u gone threw this my Dr said if. Not having heart burn or cough and able to have those soups yesterday then it's not to night ur just swollen. And the band will fit looser when u loose weight especially cuz we have fat the part the band stays . I lost another 10 lbs after I've platue for longest. I've lost total of 50 lbs since my surgery in January I want to hear all ur experiences as u have tighter adjustments please

Yeah I went through this ten years ago, when Lap Bands were still a thing. They're antiquated torture devices and I can't understand a medical doctor placing a device now that is comparable to giving a patient symptoms of an eating disorder.

I would seek a second opinion about a revision at a different bariatric center about a different weight loss surgery BEFORE you have permanent damage done from the Lap Band.

Best wishes to you.

I never had a lap band (I had sleeve) but I have seen a lot of people on here posting with issues and most of them end up having to revise to another procedure eventually. May be worth doing some research if you are having issues.

If you still can't keep anything down without gurgling, you were overfilled.

Hi guys I couldn't do it anymore. I went back and got an unfil there like are u sure youve already lost 10lbs in a week i said um ya cuz I haven't eaten or drank anything in 2 weeks so they took the whole fill out. So now I'm back to 7cc in a 10cc band. Now I can eat now it's up to me to put the right things in my body to continue to loose weight it felt soooo good to drink water normally before I got it looser it was a sip of water and then it would sit on my chest going down so so so slowly it would take me all day to finish a 20oz water bottle no that's not normal alot is mind over matter few weeks ago I would like binge eat chips at night idk wtf that was about then I had a realization kick in why do that to myself when I went thru agony not being able to keep things down .....suffer lol throwing up. . for what to eat chips and then be stuck at one weight no no no so like movie night last night instead of chips I cut some bell pepper and had 2 with hummus and it was GOOD!

I remember fills being 0.1 ml, or 0.2 ml increments... Etc. You probably just needed a 0.1 to 0.2 ml fill. I am glad you are feeling better though.
