Getting restriction with 14cc band



Recommended Posts

I think I have a large 14cc band (my doctor doesn't remember) Great doc huh. Anyways, does anyone have this size band and at what point were they restricted. I have 6cc and feel no restriction yet.

I too found out at my 2 week post op (last Friday), I have a 14cc band too. I was told some Fluid was put in during surgery, which I could feel first week, but they dont know how much. When I go for my fill on the 31st, they will remove all Fluid, and replace so they know how much I will actually have. They said they will do this each time.

How much was your first fill? The full 6 cc?

I also have a 14 cc band. I had my first fill yesterday of 3cc and so far I do not see a difference.

Hello, I also have a 14cc lapband AP large....I had my first fill on 7/14 and I got a total of 3.5cc's...It was fine that day and maybe a day or two after, I felt like I did just after surgery....but now I feel like I can eat more (not as much as before surgery) but more than I would like too.....I do have to learn to recognize when the band tells me to stop eating....I notice I get an irritating feeling in my chest area if I eat too much. I'm hoping that another fill or two will get me to my "sweet spot!".....

1st fill 7/14 3.5ccs

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
