2Cc In 4Cc Band- Little Restriction



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I got 2 cc in my 4 cc band two days ago and do not have the restriction I was hoping for. I am worried. Has anyone else had the same with 4 cc band?

How long ago were you banded? I'm assuming some years ago being as they don't use the 4cc band anymore? Were you unfilled and refilled or something?

You should fill out your profile, it will better help us to answer your questions.

Sorry. I post from my phone so I have not had a chance to fill out my profile. I got banded in Mexico on August 18th. I have another appointment scheduled 11/2 for another fill if needed. Thank you.

Oh ok. Well I'm not real familiar with the smaller bands, however I'd assume you'd get restriction from them rather quickly. I'd definitely go for very small fills going forward being as it's already half full.

It does take most people multiple fills to have adequate Fluid in their bands, so don't worry, it'll come, it will just likely take some time.

I may be mistaken, but I read in some part here, that for a strange the 10cc bands are called 4cc. If that's the case, you might have a 10 cc band with a 4cc fill it might be little. I have a 100 cc with a 7.5 cc and I'm fine with the restriction..

Are you sure it's such a small band the one that you have?

Thank you everyone so much for posting responses. I went to another fill doctor and she said there is no way I could have an allergen 4cc and she said that is not possible because they do mot make a 4cc band. She filled me with 5 cc's and said I most likely have a ten. I called Mexico and they again said it was a 4cc band but then someone called me back and said it is a 10 cc. Huge relief. So now I am feeling a bit more restricted but go back on the fifteenth for a follow up. I am a little bummed that I spent 200 dollars on the first fill that did really nothing, but I am just glad I know now.

I got my Lapband done in Mexico. I had an issue because after my second fill I was too tight that I couldn't even suck on ice cubes. I ended up in the hospital due to dehydration. I found a doctor near me that was willing to take me as a patient. He unfilled my entire band had me do an UGI to be sure my band wasn't effected ad basically start over with my fills. It's been a pain but I'm glad I don't have to go to Mexico anymore because I felt like they didn't care in emergency situations. Be careful and ur band is a 10cc band not 4cc. I thought the same thing but was reassured. I currently got my "first fill" since that incident in July and I was banded in march. Just make sure to take it slowly. I currently don't have that much of a restriction but I've managed to lose 3lbs. It just depends on ur food intake and exercise. Good luck!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
