2nd Fill Question



Recommended Posts

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
