4.5 ccs for a first fill?



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill this past Monday... I said I was feeling zero restriction at all since I was no longer sore, so I was given 4.5 ccs in my 14 cc band... is this common/normal? Just wondering because people seem to have a lot less...

My first fill I was given 3.5cc & two weeks later I was still having no restriction and gained 2lbs in 2 weeks so I got another fill. I have ALOT more restriction. I believe I'm at about 5cc in a 10cc band now.

My doc tried to do 3.5 CC, but I freaked out when the Water he gave me to drink didn't go down right away. So he removed a little. I wish I had gotten 4.5 CC as that is pretty much where I'm at after the second fill and still not feeling any restriction. Appetite seems to be the same as pre surgery.

I'm not going to be a wimp in the future. As long as liquids go down, they can put as much saline in me as they think is appropriate.

But, I have to say, that fill you got does seem rather large for a first fill. Personally, I think they are doing you a service though by not wasting your time.

      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.
