Do you think I need another fill?



Recommended Posts

I've had two fills so far the first one was 2 CC and the second was .5cc. I had 3 cc placed in my band during surgery so I have a total of 5.5cc. It seems like it's not that much and I would like to have another .5 cc fill on Monday. The concern is that I get stuck quite often and I have to throw up a few times a week. Not after every meal. I think it's because I eat the wrong foods or I eat too fast and don't chew enough. I don't want to get another fill if I don't need it but I don't really think I have restriction yet? Any advice?

What are the scales saying? If you are losing 1-2 pounds a week I would hold off on a fill until you have mastered eating at this fill. Just an opinion.

Good luck,

You need to improve your eating techniques before you get another fill because it will cause you to throw up more than you are now and jeopardize your band (slippage).

So if it were me, I would make a deal with myself, if I can learn better eating skills and go 2 weeks without throwing up I will get another fill, to help me with my hunger and restriction.

Good luck.
