How much is too much?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Wed. and I seem to be doing ok. The dr. told me he injected 5cc. Isn't that a lot for the first fill? How much is the max?

You must have a 10cc band. I have a 4cc band, so I am not familiar with the standard first fill for the 10cc. It varies so much from person to person, it's impossible to say how much is too much. You will know if it is too much! You will have difficulty with many foods and even liquids if you are too tight.

I have a small LAp-Band Ap, I think the max amount the put in it is 10cc.

I had to be unfilled @ 2 weeks post-op because it was too tight for me. Now I only have 2 cc ad I feel it is Ok for now until I recover 100%. I have lost 26 pounds in 30 days..

I feel comfortable like this. I won't rush it.

Your first fill will generally be your largest one, but 5 cc does seem like a lot. I have a 10 cc band and my first fill was 3 cc. It lasted quite a while. The last two have only been 1 cc, so I'm where you are after 3 fills. If you start throwing up or can't keep down Water or eat 3 meals aday, call your doc. It's okay to have a little taken out if you need to to be in optimal health.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
