First Lap Band Fill - No Restriction



Recommended Posts

Should i be worried! i had my first fill on 11/07/11, 6.cc no restriction, I phoned the doctor the following day about my concern, I retuned on 11/09/11 recieved another fill total of 8cc, with little restriction. I only have a 10cc band, I was told after surgery my first fill would have to be large due to the amont of space i had in between my band and stomach.

I really don't know what to say. You seem to have 14ccs in a 10cc band? I would think you'd be a little tight, but now that

I've reread your post, I think you meant to say 8 and .6 for a total of 8.6cc. I'd say you are approaching your ideal fill.

I'd say go for another .5cc and see what that does for you. I'm sure we'd all appreciate it if you would keep us up to date

on your progress. TIA

& It's okay. Go for another fill. You can get a fill up to 10 ccs, sometimes plus more because whatever can fit in the port tubing! You'll find your restriction! Good luck

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
