First fill question



Recommended Posts

im up for my first fill in a week. i have an empty 10 cc band and am wondering in general, how many cc's do they put in for the first fill. id rather not have to go back 4-5 times at 1 cc at a time. id rather them be a bit more aggressive than to nickel and dime me to death. i have to drive a long way for a fill and there 250 each. could add up fast.

I also have a 10cc band and had my first fill on 9/26 and am scheduled for my second on 11/7. My surgeon explained that they put 2cc in on surgery day and they put 3cc in at first fill for a total of five. My doctor had me do two days of liquid post fill and I believe that was a good idea; I imagine all doctors do things their own way and of course it is up to us to follow the program. I have felt restriction but definitely think I need more. I can eat more than I will be able to at sweet spot but haven’t been pushing it.

Stay the course brother we are just starting the ride of and for our lives, good luck and God speed.

BTW Jack thanks for all the great input and advice it is incredibly valuable to us new comers.

      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! 😞
