male only Hi i am new and a little worried about my Swedish band!

[Rossy 1]

Hi i had my band fitted in feb last year and my weight loss has been slow

infact 4.5 stone is all i have managed to shift

i had a Barium Swallow after the all clear i was asked to come back in 3 months in wich i had gained 3 pounds (my first weight gain in nearly 2 years)

the doctor said he wasnt sure how much my Band can take so gave me 1ml

ive been having a few problems all day

ive had some Soup and orange juice and it keeps coming back on me constantly

before the 1ml was inserted my records showed i had 8.5ml but am sure this was wrong cause i was eating pretty normal! and the Barium Swallow prooved this

but can 1ml make this amount of drastic change?

i mean i have been sicking up little bits through out the day

does anyone know exactly how much the swedish lapy band can be filled?

many thanks and am glad i found this site

Rossy :)

Swedish band (now called REALIZE band) can hold 9cc although it is tougher to withdraw all of the saline so to some degree it is more important to know the restriction you feel than the actual number.

Certainly, you are too tight and should call your surgeon office for an unfill!

hope that helps
