Will .25 cc's make a difference?



Recommended Posts

I had a fill on Tuesday. I have a 4cc band. I was at 2cc's. Doc put in .50cc's. I did ok at the office. I got home and had symptoms of my band being too tight. I was puking up the liquids I was trying to drink. For 2 days I had only ice chips. Today I got tired of not eating so I decided to eat some chips. Surprisingly I was able to get down about 4 chips and 3 small spoons of tuna. Still no liquids. I've had a head cold for the past week. So needless to say I've woken up with some nasal drainage. I've had a ton of mucus in my chest. So I'm wondering if liquids cant get down due to this. I have an unfill scheduled for in the morning. I'm going to see if he will just take out .25cc's. I'm wondering if it will even make a difference. Has anyone seen a difference with such a small amount?

Donna:

If you have postnasal drip from your cold he may need to take more out than .25 . Don't worry. He can put it back in when you feel better.

Take care.

As for does .25cc make a difference, for me it makes a huge difference. It seems everyone is different, but it takes very little for me to have perfect restriction or be way too tight.

My doc was being a total ass today I went in for a fill he gave me .25cc

I recently had to have .5 taken out because it kept getting tighter and tighter ..anyways so when the swelling went down and I was ready for a fill I went in last week got .25 still not as restricted as I like my band so I went in today and he was being so pissy like it such a pain to fill me again ..whatever I pay 100 to fill or unfill

I want it right...

I know the feeling about the doctor acting like you're bothering him wanting to get it right, that's what I'm going through right now too. We went through surgery to get restriction, fills are a big part of the process. Without proper fill we might as well not have the lap band at all, so I don't know why it's so hard to get fills from some of these doctors! Grrr if only there were other fill doctors in my area!

smsmithart, is it possible for your band to feel like it's getting tighter as the time goes by? I was fine when I left the office, drank with no problem, but now about 1 week out, I'm starting to have problems eating. Some days are great with no problem and others (mostly others) are a real bear to keep anything down, without feeling like crap. I guess I'm just at a loss because of the early signs that everything was fine and now there's a problem.:bolt:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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