  1. 1. POLL - WHAT IS YOUR SWEET SPOT IN A 4CC BAND??



Recommended Posts

I just had my third fill. My surgeon is an "aggressive" filler and I am at 3ccs in my 4cc band now. I was on liquids yesterday and my first meal was a bowl of Cereal, no problems. Just curious where others are at as I am hoping this will be a good spot for me.

TxChelsey:

I have the small 4 cc band too. I'm at 2.5 and have been there since May (except one week unfilled - problem). This level of 2.5 works for me. I think there are alot of variables for the fill level that will work for each person. I hope you find your sweet spot soon.

Best wishes to you.

I am at 2.5 cc in a 4 cc band and have had 2 fills. I am scheduled for my 3rd fill next week. I know my doc is pretty aggressive with fills and did 1.5 cc the first time but only 1 cc the 2nd fill because she said I did so well with the 1.5 cc and thought if she did another 1.5 cc it would be too much for me.

I really hope this 3rd fill goes well and that I don't end up on the fill/unfill rollercoaster ride!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
