Will such a small fill make a difference

Hi Everyone!

So I was up to 6.5 ccs in my 11cc band. We then went aggressive and put 1 cc in so I was up to 7.5. Well that didnt go so well and I couldn't even swallow my own saliva. Had an unfill of .5. I stayed on liquids for about 4 days after that due to swelling and they were going down fine. When I went to both musshy and solids, I could only take 2 small bites before it would come up. Had another slight unfill of .25. Now I'm back to being hungry about 2 hours after a small meal and even after I eat, I feel like I could have eaten a lot more!

Has anyone felt a difference after a fill of only .1 or .2? It's hard to imagine such a tiny amount would make a difference but I'm hoping it will!

I had a 1cc fill and was WAY to tight... Went back they took out .5 cc... still couldnt eat much solid food... so went back for another unfill of .5 cc which took out that whole fill.... Just went back a month ago and this time they added only .25 and YES i can tell a difference... I have steadily lost 1-3 pounds a week since this fill... My fills the doc said from now on would be in very small increments like that

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response! I'm hoping this next fill will be it!

Your welcome I use to think that "small fills" would be no weight loss.. I am now learning the smaller my fill the better my weight loss! This band has a mind of its own lol and I am finally getting the hang of it!

I have been getting small fills of .10, .15, .25 and I like doing it that way to creep up. I have been in the green zone the last 2 months. I lost 10 pounds since my last visit so it is time for more. I will be getting .25 on Thursday for maintenance. Small fills are very good for some people.

My first fill was 1cc. ALL of the rest have been .5, or .2 and I think I've done pretty well. Small fills work.. it's a lot easier to creep up on the right amount than to go over and have to have it removed.. as you learned.
