4.20 cc's in my 4 cc Band



Recommended Posts

Yep you read it right! I'm over filled. LOL I had a Video Esophagram yesterday before the fill and everything looked fairly good. The doc said my pouch was a little enlarged but nothing significant. He said I could use more fill. I don't feel any different yet. I did Soups yesterday and most of today. Had some Egg Foo Young for dinner. Went down fine. Maybe this will kick in in a few days?

My last fill took a week and a half to kick in, then OMG did it hit me hard lol. Ended up having it taken back out after a week on liquids/mushies.

That's very cool that you can fit more than 4cc's in it :)

Yep. He doesn't seem to be concerned at all. I've read before on other Bandster boards where somepeople have to be filled this high and the band can actually hold more then 4 cc's. I just happen to be the unusual one. I'm sure it is not crimping my stomach as I have no problem eating and the doc would have seen the tightness in the video esophogram. I don't have a big stomach when you look at me so maybe my weight loss was from my innerds and that's why the band needs to be so full. LOL Just a thought!

I have read of some people even being safely filled up to 5cc in a 4cc band due to problems with restriction also. Not unheard of at least by me - in fact one patient of my surgeon is filled to 5cc - and my surgeon said he was comfortable filling it that full but not anymore than that. Nice to know in case I ever need to get that far. Keep us updated on how your doing!

      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. 🤞
