I got my second fill on February 3rd and it has been working very well. Why are you scared? Did you have problems after the first fill? This one went great for me and I am eating much less than I did before the fill.

I have a total of 9 cc's in

There is no more room for any more fills.

I am very concerned about being at 9 ccs already

i honestly don't know

I put my health and care in his hands, and when he said 3ccs I was a bit shocked.

Do I call tuesday and talk to him about how much?

I am very concerned

Been thinking of you. How are you feeling?? I just went for my fourth fill and was to surprised to hear him say another 1.5cc but my weight loss has been so slow. I hope this works!!

I just had my fourth fill today. I have a 10cc band, and am now at 6.25cc. I think my dr takes this whole thing too slowly, and sometimes I wish I had the slam dunk approach that Kerimezz77's doctor uses. My dr today said that most people hit a sweet spot in the 6-7cc range. I sure hope so, because I've been pretty flat line since recovering from surgery. I've got another 50lbs to go, and I need this band to start earning its keep!

I am doing good. I have my days where I PB but I am ok otherwise. I do have some discomfort in my upper left abdomen. I wonder if with me losing weight, and fat, things are moving around. I am in a 14/16 right now. I am down I think a reasonable amount of weight. I have an appt next month with my doctor for a follow up. I hope he might take a little out because I am a still concerned with having 9cc's already in my band.

Hope you all are well.

Hi Keri Sorry to here you are having problems with your last fill. From what you are saying I assume you have the Lap Band System and a 10cc Band? That is the Band that my Doctor used for me. I have just recently signed up on My LAP-BAND Journey and found out that what we call a 10cc Band is technical a 9.7/10cc with a Max fill of 14cc. So you are not as close to max fill as you think hope this helps you to not be so concerned.

      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.
