  1. 1. POLL - WHAT IS YOUR SWEET SPOT IN A 4CC BAND??



Recommended Posts

I just had my third fill. My surgeon is an "aggressive" filler and I am at 3ccs in my 4cc band now. I was on liquids yesterday and my first meal was a bowl of Cereal, no problems. Just curious where others are at as I am hoping this will be a good spot for me.

TxChelsey:

I have the small 4 cc band too. I'm at 2.5 and have been there since May (except one week unfilled - problem). This level of 2.5 works for me. I think there are alot of variables for the fill level that will work for each person. I hope you find your sweet spot soon.

Best wishes to you.

I am at 2.5 cc in a 4 cc band and have had 2 fills. I am scheduled for my 3rd fill next week. I know my doc is pretty aggressive with fills and did 1.5 cc the first time but only 1 cc the 2nd fill because she said I did so well with the 1.5 cc and thought if she did another 1.5 cc it would be too much for me.

I really hope this 3rd fill goes well and that I don't end up on the fill/unfill rollercoaster ride!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
