10cc Band already filled

[boobar 0]

I have a 10cc band, I went for a fill on 5/7, the dr. put in 10.5cc in my 10cc band. I was really tight for about 3 days, I had the slime and did vomit one day, but after the first 3 days I was alot better and over time I have been able to go back to eating way to much and whatever I want to eat... How much can you get into a 10cc band? I am a little concerned because I have only lost 25 pounds and I still have 65 pounds to go.. How will this band help me if I have it all the way filled and have no restriction. Any suggestions?

Are you sure your physician put 10.5cc in your band, or did he put 1.5cc in your band? How many fills did you have before this?

Yes because asked him and questioned how he could put more in that what is allowed. This is my 3rd fill.

I am past the 10cc mark as well. I am at 11.2 cc's and my doctor talked to the vendor for the lap band as well as other doctors and apparently the 10cc band actually holds more than 10 cc's. I have had many fills to get to this point and I am still not sure if i am at the "sweet spot" yet. I try to focus more on how my body feels than the amount of liquid in the band. Especially since after the last fill I was at 11.8 cc's and ended up in the ER becasue i was too restricted. Just take it slow and pay attention to your body.

they will add fills then take some out. this stuff is crazy. i have a small band. and have already had 5 fills. and i'm not losing weight. i'm pretty disappointed. i had surgery 10/31/07 and have only lost 18#s. i wished i had gotten a bypass. this is very stressful. i feel like i have failed again.

Hang in there and talk to your doctor about your concerns.
