Lap-Band AP - Large Band 14cc



Recommended Posts

Anyone else get this one?

My doc says it is one of the best and will hold up to 14 ml/cc of saline.

I guess that means I can get fills for years down the road.

I have this band and I have 5cc in the band. My next appointment is May 5th and right now I have what I consider good restriction so hopefully I will not need another fill at that visit.

My surgeon likes the AP bands.

I have a 14cc band with 6.5cc as of today. I do not have any restriction right now. I've only had one fill, so i am hoping to get some restriction on my next fill.

I have a 14cc with 7cc in it. I have had one fill, 5ccs. I dont really feel "restricted", but I am doing well with the weight loss so I have decided to leave it alone until I need more help.

Thats the band I have. I think my doc said my band started with 7cc's already in it, and with fills I've added an additional 3.5ccs.

I currently have decent restriction and have been losing weight great.

I was told it all depends on the size of your stomache when they go in. I was given the standard 10 CC band.

I also have a 14 cc band, surgery feb 09. I think I have about 8cc in there and I am down 110 pounds. I am too brain damaged to move my chain( I will have to ask my teenager). My weight loss is slow but steady. Peg:smile:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
