First Fill In A Long Time

[derbin247 0]

Hi,

I have not had a full in 18 months. I'm 3 years post op and lost 80 pounds but have gained back 18. I'm nervous about feeling tight again. I have like 9cc's out of my 10. I wonder if I'll be done after this???

I did hear that over time the Fluid in a band can dissipate a little so u may not have quite as much as u think u have, If u do have 9cc i would think it unlikely they will give u another fill if your band is only a 10cc one....

If you know how u gaianed some of that weight back then u stand a good chance of getting rid of it agaian and keeping it off ...

Thanks for the response I hope some of it went away! Because it's weird that I'm so full at 9cc's but wanting another fill...

I'm surprised you have 9cc in a 10cc band in the first place.

I read somewhere in a medical journal at work that the band is designed to only be filled 80-85% of it's max capacity.

But who knows...I hear all sorts of things on these boards so nthing surprises me here....

I have heard of people filling past capacity. Which to me sounds scary as hell. I would have your doctor check your current level. It is possible some fill has left the building after a few years. Good luck!
