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.
