2nd fill average



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I had my second fill today. I had 4ml on the day or surgery, 2.5 ml on the 19/1 and 1.5 ml today. That's a total of 8ml. Does that seem to be an average for people or does that seem to be quite tight?

I know that evryone is different but just an average would be nice :rose:

Hey Emmsie,

I had 2ml on day of surgery and another 2ml at my first fill - making a total of 4ml. My surgeon says most people sit around 6ml and he doesnt have anyone with more than 7.5ml. Having said that, everyone is different.

I hope they put at least 3ml in when I go next week.

emmsie,

do you have an 10cc band? It's taken me 5 fills to get to 6.75cc and I'm pretty well restricted now. How are you going though? Are you able to drink liquids without difficulty? If so, you're probably fine.

Wow, I got no fill on surgery day. I don't get any till the 19th of March, and my restriction is wearing off... I apparently have the smallest band there is though. Dunno if that makes a difference.

I seem to be coping ok. I managed to eat a sausage sanwich for lunch with fresh white bread and didnt have any issues except for the fact that the sausage was cold by the time I finished :)

Feeling very PMS - even feel like some chocolate which is a sure sign

      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! 😞
