2nd Fill Question

I had my first fill Feb. 21 and she put in 3.4 ccs (10CC band). I have been okay not alot of change. Anyway my weight has kinda stalled from a pound aday to the same everday.

When can you get a second fill? I am always hungry....

When can I expect the "sweet spot"?

Okay one more I am still learning about the signs when eating.... so I slime about once a day on average. YUK! I really need to pay better attention to my body! Any suggestions.

My suggestion is to do what you say - pay attention to your body when you're eating. It takes a lot of us a while to learn by trial and error.

As for the second fill, mine was 3 weeks after my first. There aren't really many "rules" about how to progress your fills unless your surgeon has guidelines or you're experiencing restriction.

I had my first fill on Feb 20 and really felt no restriction and that was with 4cc in a 10cc capacity. I was hungry all the time and very discouraged, I called my doc and went in this past Tuesday, Mar 4th for 2nd fill of 1 more cc for a total of 5cc, BIG difference, I obviously was on liquids for 2 days, but tried eating last night and this morning, few bites, felt stuffed, actually had my first PB this morning. Not hungry at all!!!!

My first fill was 6 cc / 9 cc band. My weight maintained until the second fill on Monday. I asked my surgeon to be aggressive with it as the stall in weight loss had caused me to become quite depressed. I am now at 7.5 cc and I can truly eat only a half teacup. I have lost almost 10 lbs since Monday, for a total of 26.

I would say don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. Hang around the office for an hour or so to see if it goes well, just in case you are too tight. I would rather have to have an unfill vs. waiting another month to finally start losing weight.
