?? for those who had fill during surgery



Recommended Posts

I was told they puy 3-4 cc's in my band at time of surgery. I've since had one fill of 1 cc. That takes me to a total of 4-5 cc's in a 10 cc band. Still not enough though. Can't wait til my next fill.

I was VERY suprised when at my first fill the PA pulled out 4cc's and put 1 more in for a ttl of 5 only one month after surgery (6/19/09). Still no restriction, only supressed appitite for longer. I still eat, just less then before. I have my next fill in 3 weeks. Wish I had less cc's in my 10 cc band and more restriction.

When I went in for my first fill, six weeks after surgery, my PA was shocked when he pulled out 5cc. He said that was the most he ever had seen. He did a fill of 4.8, which put me at 9.8. Great restriction. Another month later, I went back for my second check up, and he thought we should try a little more. He put in another 1.2cc, which put me at 11 in a 14cc band.

The next week, I went back because I was unable to eat any type of solid food without pain, massive slime and pb'ing, and he took out 0.5cc, so right now I'm back at 10.5cc, which is good. I have enough restriction to make me think about how much and what I eat, without the pb'ing.

I've lost 56 pounds since April 23. :D

I just found out today that my surgeon put 2.2 cc's in my band with a Max fill of 4 cc's. Im only a week out but feel A LOT restriction. I don't think that I will need a fill for quite some time.

I finally had a yogurt for the first time tonight, and after 4 oz I was very full.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
