I've mentioned this before and sorry for repeating it. I've lost most of my weight and am about done, never had a fill. The nurse is very suprised and said I also had the bigger band.

I want to have a fill to see if it helps me have smaller meals, I have restriction but feel I eat more at a meal than I should. I try to keep it at

1 1/2 cups but I can eat a bit more, closer to 2C. If I eat less than the 1 1/2 C. I get hungry. :smile:

I am wondering if any of you have only been filled 1 time till you were done lossing and if it helped much?

Thanks!

I had my band in October 2007. I had 1 fill, of 1.6 cc in November. Nearly choked to death! waaaaaay too tight, so had it all taken out. Ive lost 62 pounds with nothing in. Some days I still feel way too tight & have troubles, but nothing to take out Not good.

I've only had one fill ... 2cc in a 10cc band. I've never had restriction but I've lost over 100lbs!!

Do what works for you!

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of your posts. I was banded on 1/23/08 and has my first fill on 3/5/08 2cc's. about 5 days later I started feeling nausea....(as of today it has been 23 days.) on 3/19 the doctore removed the fill. 3/24 I was given the 2 cc's back and it was way too tight he took out 1/2 cc that night I ended up in the er and the 1.5 cc was removed. I do not have any fluid in my band but I am not losing. I have lost 3 lbs then gained 1.6 back. then yesterday I weighted in and I lost 1 lb. Not sure what is going on and if I can't handle a fill but I'm not losing much what are my options? My doc did give me Protonix 40 mg to try and see if that will rid of the nausea.

Please someone respond and let me know there will be light at the end of this tunnel

Which band do you have?

I am soooo jealous! j/k I had my first fill on Friday, but am certain I will be going back for more.

I'm not sure the name....or correct size.

I was told that I have the smallest band that they make.

Does that make sense?

If you have a 4cc band I can see 2cc's being too much for you. You should try like .5 maybe?

You could still have some swelling too.

I hope you feel better. Give it some time, you'll start losing again.
