Britneygirl 65 Posted September 5, 2013 Does anyone know what to compare that to? I don't think I will notice a difference once I'm back on solids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lellow 1,713 Posted September 5, 2013 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. 1 pastor o reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 5, 2013 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. 2 pastor o and Jim1967 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first fill ever was 0.5cc.[/quote'] 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Britneygirl 65 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Britneygirl So are u back on solids now? Any restriction? Im also 4/10. 17days now. And i feel the hunger returning and i can eat more than in the first weeks after this fill. How abt u?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.
