I had a fill for half of CC last week, well I got to the point where I wouldnt even drink anything, it was so tight that I went in yesterday and had them remove that half of CC. Well i feel very little restriction after that removal, I feel less than I had before the fill. Has this ever happened to anyone?
-
The same thing happened to me, my first fill was 4 cc and everything was fine, then I continued to go every month for a fill and he would give me 1 or .5 cc after that. I am at 9cc with a 10cc band. So dont get scared every doctor works different.
-
I just wanted to get an idea of what is the average weight to loose per week?

I feel the same way, i got banded oct 1 and only los 45 lbs,, I had my 6 fill yesterday I am at 9cc and still dont feel much restriction, my doctor told me that i might be too tight but maybe just eating the wrong things, he said he might have to unfill a little, according to him its very normal for this to happen but I am getting discouraged. -

Hello everyone, I need some advice, Ilost my insurance and I was banded on 10-1-09, how ever my doctor charges 250.00 per fill, that is kind of high, there is a doctor here in town that charges 15.00 a fill, what do you guys recomend, I am bearly at 5cc and I go in every 2 wekks to get a fill, my doctor refuses to fill me up more, so I am kind of unhappy beacause I have not seen very good results. Any advice?

just curious-cost for your portion after ins?
lindac80 replied to BQT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well my insurance covers 80% but i have a 4000 maximum out of pocket, i have paid for 2000 of that for my sleep study and ejg, so the say of surgery i still had 2000 remaining, but they only wanted me to pay 500 of that and bill me the rest. which was great for me. -
