6 Cc Fill Limit?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to the forums but have been lurking and reading for about a year?

I had a fill yesterday and am now at 6cc's. The PA told me that "they" don't

recommend going over that....I wonder if anyone else has had this recomendation...

Thanks.....

I've never heard of such a thing. In fact, if I were in your shoes, I'd question it and challenge it. Everyone's anatomy is different so everyone requires different fill levels. Saying they don't want to fill anyone over 6cc, despite having say a 10cc band, seems downright ridiculous and illogical.

Don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions and speak up for yourself :)

she didn't say they wouldn't fill me anymore than 6 cc's, just that it's not

recomended by her? I don't know about the other PA's...

just have to wait and see.... it's just suprised me b/c I've never heard

of it before.....thanks

I think some people just pull arbitrary figures out of the air with no scientific basis for how they came up with them

I think what your pa is trying to say that with each fill the band gets tighter therefore there are more risks involved, or the risk increases. Such as band slippage stomach erosion etc....

      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...

        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.
