What is your current fill in your 10cc Small AP Band?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I'm just curious as to what everyone has in their small AP Bands. I had my surgery three months ago and yesterday my doc's office took me to 6cc's. I asked what was the most they had seen in my band and they said 8cc's.

I have 4.5cc in my band and I have very good restriction. MY first fill was 3cc and I felt nothing. What a big difference a little bit can make.

I had a 4 cc prefill during surgery. I was given 2 more cc's a month after surgery. Then last week they gave me 2 more which put me at 8cc's. 10 miles past the doctors office, I had throwed up about 10 times. I went right back to the doctor, they said I was too full and took almost 1cc out. So I am a lil over 7cc, and feeling very restricted. The weight seems to be coming off though...

Unless the surgeon put some in during OR (and I heard that is really quite common with the AP bands), I don't have any in there. Haven't had a fill yet, OR was June 21st. Losing about 10# per month, don't feel the need to get filled yet.

I went today for my 2nd fill. The 1st I had 4cc today they went up to 6cc. I had to go back an hour later becuase I was in so much pain! SO they put me to 5cc now. I drank my liquids and when I went to have Soup tonight I almost vomited. I think I drank too fast. At 4cc I felt restricted but no too much. The doctor said that after a couple days it will stretch some.

      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.
