Should I get another fill?

[misjanete 0]

So, I'm at 7cc's in my 10cc band. I have a fill appointment at the end of the month and I'm not quite sure if I'm at my sweet spot. Since the last fill I have had that "Stuck" feeling 3 times but I know it was because I was starving and rushing a bit since I hadn't eaten for quite some time. I still can eat a bit more that I would expect and I'm not really sure if I should get another. I'm a bit worried if I get another fill that I will be too tight and not be able to eat. Has anyone had more that 7cc's in their band and been ok? I was thinking maybe if I go to 7.5 it won't be so significant that I'll get stuck constantly but enough to get to my sweet spot. I know it varies from person to person. I'm just looking for an average I guess.

Thanks for your help!:biggrin2:

I have 8.7 in my 10 CC band. This has created my sweet spot. Everyone is so different. My fills are done under flouro, so my doctor knows what I can tolerate. If you feel you can eat too much like it did, a few extra CC can really help you out. I can eat about half of what I could last week before my latest fill. Good luck!

How ironic is that....your scenario sounded exactly like mine yesterday. I was on the fence on whether or not I should go in and get another fill. So, I did...I went in and discussed with my doctor. We both decided to do .5 cc and today I think I'm at my "sweet spot". I was able to eat my mushy Breakfast ok, and I'm trying to eat a bowl of Soup for lunch but not able to eat all of it which is exactly what I wanted!! I'm just hoping it doesn't "kick in" later in the week because then I'll be screwed, lol.

Good luck with your decision!!

I'm stuck in a similiar situation right now. I got a fill yesterday and it wasn't crap. .6 cc... NO DIFFERENCE. the first fill I had was wonderful and I actually had my sweet spot right away. They put a full cc in there that time. Even though it wore off in a week, it was great. So, I was expecting something like that this time and no. I knew right away it wasn't even close. I came to work and ate my soup.. ate it all no problem (last time I could only drink half). Then I was still starving after the soup.. intense starving pains... Today ate an entire can of tuna for Breakfast, no problem... for lunch had a large chili.. no problem.. still hungry.. before there is no way I could have eaten all of this after a fill.. So, I have a 3pm appointment today and I'm going to beg my doctor to just give me a little bit more. I doubt he will, but if I have to cry I will. God, sometimes I feel like I'm a crack whore addicted to drugs or something! and my drug is this band.

LOL!

I am in a similar situation. I haven't had a fill in a couple months and have my appetite back and want it to go away! I couldn't decide if I should get one or not so I scheduled one for next week. I guess a little can't hurt!
