Anyone with 14CC band....



Recommended Posts

Well went for my 4th fill today and was told they were going to measure how much I had in. She said I should be at 7.5 but actually was at 8?? Go figure, so they added 1 cc and now I'm at 9. I had just started to feel slight restriction last fill two weeks ago, so I'm hoping to be at my sweetspot for now! My dr. says I'm doing great on my weightloss and now I go back in four weeks instead of every two weeks.

wow, every 2 weeks? I had my first fill last thursday and I dont go back until October 28th...2 months later...It's interesting how different each doctor is. I'm hoping that I'll still feel restriction until then, but I plan on calling if I don't....they told us to do that in some of the support meetings...

KEVIN-->Goodluck! But, if you are getting sick, you might be too full! Call your doc because if you keep getting sick a few times a week, you can damage your esophagus and will then need a complete unfill, or even have the band removed...call your doc and keep us updated!

Mellabella78--> was this your first fill? Just curious to see if your doc put in all 6 cc's the first time...mine did 5 this past thursday (my first fill) and i feel great! I get full so quickly and don't get hungry again for at least 4-5 hours :)

Hey Barbie... No, I have had 2 fills so far. My Doc is a little more agressive I guess. I had 4 cc , and then 2 more a week later. I did fine:)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
