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.

      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! 😞
