How much is too much?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Wed. and I seem to be doing ok. The dr. told me he injected 5cc. Isn't that a lot for the first fill? How much is the max?

You must have a 10cc band. I have a 4cc band, so I am not familiar with the standard first fill for the 10cc. It varies so much from person to person, it's impossible to say how much is too much. You will know if it is too much! You will have difficulty with many foods and even liquids if you are too tight.

I have a small LAp-Band Ap, I think the max amount the put in it is 10cc.

I had to be unfilled @ 2 weeks post-op because it was too tight for me. Now I only have 2 cc ad I feel it is Ok for now until I recover 100%. I have lost 26 pounds in 30 days..

I feel comfortable like this. I won't rush it.

Your first fill will generally be your largest one, but 5 cc does seem like a lot. I have a 10 cc band and my first fill was 3 cc. It lasted quite a while. The last two have only been 1 cc, so I'm where you are after 3 fills. If you start throwing up or can't keep down Water or eat 3 meals aday, call your doc. It's okay to have a little taken out if you need to to be in optimal health.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
