anybody heard about other fill solution



Recommended Posts

anybody out there heard about the other fill solution out there ? Its not saline but is used in the band for fills .does not dissapate like saline but is tolerated by the body just as well as the saline .Its supposed to prolong times in between fills and what they put in stays in . anybody know about this ? I talked to 1 lady about this when i was in TJ but can't remember the name of the stuff. she said it worked great and was coming for a .second fill but had lost 97 pounds in 9 months with only 1 fill off it.:huggie:

thanx

It is called Omnipaque.
....and I'm filled with it. I just got my 4th fill and the omnipaque is holding perfectly! I lost .5cc of saline between my 1st and 2nd fill.

What is it made of?

Omnipaque (iohexol) it's a contrast medium that they use for doing diagnostic testing like angiograms. It's thicker than saline and is completely safe if it should leak out of the band.

Yep, I've got it too. I live a fair drive away from my doctor and the nurse asked me how far away I was and when I told her we decided on the thicker medium because she said it will stay better and longer. I have had three fills (last one 7-31) and I am getting very close to perfect. Still losing so I need another top-off. Gonna call and get an appointment next week.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
