I had my 3rd fill on monday and I'm still hungry I really don't know what's going on I have 6cc now and feel like don't even have a band no restriction at all is this normal or do I need more fills?

from what i have been told by my nurse that does my fills, it really depends on several factors... like how much your band will hold.

if you have a 14 cc band and you only 6cc in it now you are not even half way full and usually the sweet spot is going to be a 2-3 cc shy of the full cc it will hold.

so i wouldn't be discouraged by that just wait a week or so and see if you can get another fill, your dr or the nurse doing the fills should also be able to help you with these questions as they have probably seen tons of people with the same issues... GOOD LUCKI

It's not just you. I've had 2 very agressive fills.. I have a little over 7ccs in a 10 cc band and I still don't have restriction. I can still eat bread, no problem. Sometimes I get a tiny bit stuck if I don't chew enough, but basically I can eat a lot if I chew well. I'm getting another fill on the 27th. I think it just varies from person to person. So don't stress, just keep getting filled until you feel like it's in a good spot!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
