Full fills



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever gotten filled all the way to the limit of what the band holds? What happens if it gets to this point? :D

Good Question..that is my fear..being filled to almost capacity or to capacity and still not near goal. Fortunatley for me I am almost at goal and only have 1.5 cc's in my band. Lets see what kind of replies this thread gets. I'm curious to know

I just got a fill today & was told that I have a 3cc band & after the fill today I have a whopping total of 2.5ccs in my band. And I have lost only 30 lbs. I have 170 lbs left to lose. I'm wondering the same thing.

I never heard of a 3cc band, only 4cc and 11cc. My doc says she never had anyone filled to 4cc. 3.3cc was the most she has ever filled anyone. I'm at 2.3 now and can't imagine getting anymore !

I can't answer your question either, but I too am curious. Maybe one of the Dr's will jump in here and answer for us. If not, maybe some of us can start asking when we see the Dr. for fills and followup.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
