4 tenths of a CC??



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what to compare that to? I don't think I will notice a difference once I'm back on solids.

4 tenths of a cc is 0.4cc. Is that what you have in your band at the moment or was it a recent fill?

My last two fills have been 0.1cc each, and I definitely felt the last one. 0.4cc is probably a little bit conservative but that's not a bad thing. My first fill ever was 0.5cc.

It was my last fill. Dr had put in half a cc under fluoroscopy. Said it was too tight. I was at 10.5 before the adjustment he gave to me. He said I'm right there at the green zone. Maybe even too close to the red. He had me drink 3 cups of Water before I left. He wanted to make sure I didn't burp or hiccup as that would show him I'm too tight. I'm just used to my surgeon who was more aggressive w my fills. But I had to be unfilled 3 times before. Since I'm pretty much near my goal. I get all my fills under X-ray to avoid slip damage to my band.

Even .1cc can make a huge difference. I've had actually had a .3cc fill and had to have .2cc removed because I was too tight.

Thank you for your input. It makes perfect sense now. Smaller fills so I don't go from yellow to red. Which had happened twice. I DID hit my goal back in July but it was by being too tight and not eating enough. Now I eat small and stay full 5 hours.

hello. No still no restriction. I'm under the belief that I have a leak. I had great restriction a couple of months ago. Now I feel like i did when I had just got banded. Total bandster hell right now. I've also put on 23 pounds. I was already at my goal. Now this.

      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.
