Sweet Spot Fills



Recommended Posts

Someone help me understand.... I have had 3 fills and it is going good!..

My question is once I have reached the amount of saline that will put me in the ZOne.....will the next fill I get maybe 6 months later will it be the same cc amount or will the process start over again because my stomach has shrunken?

Your question confuses me.... Are you asking if you'll have to get another fill equivalent to the fill you had when you reached the green zone?

If so, no, you won't. The liquid that is in your band will stay in your band unless your doctor removes it or your band is leaking.. After your reach your green zone, if you need to get more, it'll be tiny adjustments as you lose weight.

Say your sweet spot is at 6cc. When you need another fill as your restriction starts disappearing, you will get an adjustment of like 0.2cc or so, until you feel restriction again. But it won't be another 6cc.

My problem is trying to figure what the sweet spot is. I got my 2nd fill two weeks ago and everything was great the first week but starting last week it seems my stomach starts to growl at the 3.5 hour mark. Good news is I don't have cravings. I thought for a short time I was at the sweet spot but now I find myself questioning that. I have 6cc's in a 11cc band. Hope I reach it soon.
