10th Fill



Recommended Posts

So I just had my 10th fill, lost another 5 lbs! Down a total of 46 lbs since surgery 6 months ago!

When the lady did my fill today under fluro, she said all I could hold was .3 cc's. just curious as to what that means???? It didn't really register with me what she said until I had already left. Any ideas as to what she means???

Thanks y'all!

She put 0.3cc of Fluid into your band. As you get closer to green fills become smaller and smaller. It's not unusual for old bandsters to get 0.1cc tweaks for instance.

Yes, I know and understand that she put .3 cc's in my band. My question was, why she would say "that's all I could take". Like that's all it would hold...

I'd say through the Fluro she could tell any more then 0.3cc would make you too tight

0.3cc is 1/3 of a milliliter.

If you have had 10 fills what is your total amount if you don't mind me asking, and what size is your band.

I have 2.5 in a 10cc band and I think I'm finally entering my green zone.

Good luck =)

Wow! You're lucky! I have 4cc's in a 10cc band and i still feel like i can tolerate too much & am hungrier a lot often than i feel i should.

My nurse said i should expect GREEN around 5-7cc's..

My weight loss has been slow, only 14lbs in 6 weeks.

Although i do expect to reach goal by new years.

I have 10.6 cc's in a 14cc band. I was banded 2/28/13.

Hmm, 10.6 CC is a bit. I'm guessing she is just trying to play it safe with the 0.3 CC fill.

I'm not far behind you at about 8 CC, but I couldn't possibly take any more fills. Just more proof to me that everyone requires a different amount of fills.

Thanks, my surgeon thinks one more fill and I'll hit the green. I get my fills from true results and then seen my surgeon a week later. I feel good restriction but not enough to keep my full long enough.., I think another .2 or .3 cc and I'll be great!!

It took me ages to get on the green zone and I'm at the top of my band.

When you say top of your band does that mean it is completely full? I am 9 in a 10cc and still feel like I need more restriction..Scared. Anyone else in this situation?

I'm at 2.5 and I believe I could be tweaked but that's about it. Last visit I opted for no fill since I was doing so well. I have a 10 cc band

      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.
