What if you band is full



Recommended Posts

I just had my second fill. I have 2.8cc and have good restriction now. My question is I have a 4cc band If I get up to 4cc in fill and still have weight to loss what happens. I was stocked to be at 2.8cc on my second fill. My wife just got her first fill and it was 1cc. She has alot of room to go and only has 30 pound or so to lose. I wondered if anyone has ever been filled to the max.

We have been working with our bands. We totally believe in Low Carb. We have come so far, but still want to reach goal. Time is on our side.

Frank, check out the Fills section of this board. There are a couple of threads going there that will be very helpful to you.

I haven't had a fill yet, so unfortunately can't add anything. But, I wanted to say great job to both of you! Keep you the good work!

Franks, Im having trouble understanding your signature. :( Please explain.

It looks like Dow has lost 137 pounds and Deb as lost 77.... is this correct? (Since Oct. 4th?)

I'm at 4cc now with a 4 cc band and still have room to eat also. I am going for a fill soon. U can put more in and more times than not you dont actually know exactly what went in. I believe my doc is taking it all out and replacing in order to be sure. I had 4 fills all but one with different Docs. Mistake on my part. I believe I have simply pushed my diet and stretched my little pouch out or I never was good restricted to begin with. We will see.

Take care.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
