I've brought this up before, but want to know what more people think about my situation.

1) had 3 fills 1st-1cc, 2nd-1cc=2cc, 3rd-lost .3cc so back up to 2cc

I do not feel any different than before and have lost no weight since right after banding in April. I had upper GI done last Monday which showed barium going right through (rather quickly I might add), so even the radiologist knew right away I did not have enough restriction.

My dilemma is....should I ask for another fill free or at reduced price? I feel like I paid for the same fill twice. He never took me over 2cc. Even if at my 3rd fill, he had taken me to 2.1cc, I wouldn't feel this way.

Also, is .3 loss after 4-6 weeks normal?

Depending on the size of your band I would be wondering about maybe a leak in the band or something...It wouldnt hurt to have it checked out

Trying to understand... you were at 2ccs, and then me removed .3cc, or the .3cc came up missing and for the third fill he just brought you back up to 2? Either of those right?

I would pay for the fill like normal, unless you specifically asked him to put you over 2 and he didn't (in whcih he should have told you why & you should have had the conversation then). Maybe your doc thought 2cc was right, but the .3 was enough to keep you from feeling restriction... Dunno, I just know that from my perspective, based on what you've shared, I don't see any "at fault" on the doctor's behalf that would keep someone from paying full price.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
