Recommended Posts

I have a 14cc band.I was wondering who else does and how many cc's it took to get to the green zone for everybody?

I do, I'm at 10.7 and just got there. Took me a year of consistent fills to get there!

I do and as of tonight I am at 7.5cc. I have been in the green zone but as I have lost more weight, I needed more fill. Hopefully back there again, but still working hard to keep on losing.

I do too and am at 7.8 and in the greenzone, I was a 7.5 a few weeks back but because I lost around my stomach I had to get a small fill to put me back where I needed to be.

I also have a 14cc band and currently have 5 1/2 and not yet at green zone <_< .I have a Dr. appt. today for a fill and hope this will get me to the green! My doctor said when having a 14cc band in most patients to get to the green zone it takes about 7 1/2 to 10cc to get there !

I have an AP Large Lap Band that will hold 14 cc's; I had surgery in April 2012; a fill in May, July, August and October; I have a total of 7 1/2 cc's and just hit the "green zone" with the last fill in October. So, it took me SIX (6) months to get there. . . slow and steady.

I have a 14cc band I was banded 6/26 and I'm at 9.6 cc with a fill scheduled for 12/14 I'm not sure if I will go much tighter I'm losing steadily and not having any "stuck" issues although it will be 6 weeks since my last fill I usually do one every 4 weeks but they were booked up so I'm hoping I won't start eating everything is sight I'm down 70lbs since 6/15 when I started the pre-op

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
