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.

      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.
