2 CC in and no sign of tightness



Recommended Posts

2 Months I went to the doctor to find out my lapband was obstructed and nothing would pass through. He took what little Fluid I had out so it was empty and fully open. I wasn't able to get back till last Monday and he put 2 CC's in and now a week later I feel no tightness whatsoever !! Is this normal ?? I'm aging weight and staying hungry all the time. I've never been able to have a lot of CC's in at once so maybe this has changed? Is that possible ? And now I don't go back to doctor till June 25...

My doctor said that our esophagus and pouch become more efficient at pushing food across the band making it seem like we have less restriction. Makes sense to me. Before the band, food just fell into our stomachs and now food has to be pushed and massaged through our stoma.

As time goes by the muscles that contract to create peristalsis gain strength. This makes our pouch a more efficient machine.

I felt no restriction with only 2cc and always felt hungry. It was like I was just on a diet. I really didn't feel a good restriction till I was at 5cc. Everyone has their own journey~Good Luck!
