Magic Number Of Cc's



Recommended Posts

I go for my first adjustment july 7th and I know the doctor puts 4 cc's but I don't think thats going to be enough only because besides not having any restrictions now nothing is even getting stuck!!!!!!!

I was banded 12-26-07. I have had 4 fills. I cancelled and rescheduled my next one because I think I may have gotten to that sweet spot.I had very little restriction all the way up to my last fill. At that point I had a total of 6.5cc in my 10cc band. This last time (@ 7 weeks ago) he only added .5cc(Total 7cc.) I did not know if I was going to be able to handle that last fill. It took a good 3-4 weeks before I could anything thicker than a smoothie to go down. I am actually going to ask if he will remove half of the last half he added. I am very tight in the morning which makes it hard to get in all the Vitamins and nutrients in the rest of the day.I guess it is different for each person. These little problems would still not prevent me from doing it again. I have 76 good reasons to keep going as I am. GOOD LUCK to ALL!!!!:thumbs_up:

I've had four fills. 6 ccs was too little and the current 7 ccs is too much. I'm hoping at my next visit I'll have a little taken out and find my sweet spot.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
