Hi everyone. I asked my doctor about fills and how much is a good amount and I told him about how some people get more than others and he told me that the amount of fill has a lot to do with the type and size of your personal band. Some peoples bands are larger in diameter and need more to fill. Brands other than inamed run differently in size as will. I have a 10cc inamed band and I have just under 2cc's filled and I am really tight.

The radiologist told me that my opening was only about 1 mm big. I was very tight! Barium is very thick and that was just 1 little drink, more than a sip.

WOW Kelly- your tight & you swallowed-Every Guys fantasy. I apologize for those faint at heart! But I couldn't resist! LOL LOLOl LOL

Its good to have the pics aint it

ive got both of mine that i had done at different fills and its like a work in progress watching the change of tightness in the band as the barium goes through.

must admit though i never thought they would scan in being xrays.

Thanks for sharing

Pretty cool pics. It is very interesting to see the barium go through. Great diagnostic tool.

Wow I'm just seeing this post for the first time.

I just posted my barium swallow pics a few days ago thinking It's good to show newbies what the band looks like inside, and you have.

You look about as tight as I feel. Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing Kelly. You have less of a fill than me but your band seems a lot tighter. How much can you eat? Do you find your band tighter in the morning?

I got 1.5 last week and the band is very tight in the morning. All I can do is a cup of coffee for a few hours.

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

      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! 😞
