How many more fills until I feel the fullness again



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill about a month ago. I received 3 cc in a 10 cc band. Sorry, I don't know the technical name for the bank I have, but I apparently have the larger of the two 10cc bands, if that makes any sense to anyone.

When I first got the fill I was pretty satisfied with little food. Now, about 3 weeks later, I barely feel satisfied. I am astonished about what I can eat sometimes. Definitely not like it was preband, but more than a probably should. I have still lost some weight since last fill, maybe about 3-4 lbs.

I will get another 1cc at the next fill. Just wondering if there is anyone went thru something similar.

It typically takes several fills until you reach your sweet spot. One thing you should remember is when you have a fill your stomach sells which could lead to a greater amount of restriction. When the swelling goes down your restriction will become less. Just think of it this way at least you have the option of getting another fill and adjusting it to your needs. Keep your head up and good luck!

FYI: I had 9 fills before I felt any significant restriction. I thought I was failing since I wasn't losing any weight. But now I feel it and should be able to lose adequately. Good luck to all and welcome to lapband!

      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! 😞
