Eclipse Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 Hi everyone hoping for some feedback, I had my 5th fill today, they told me i was at 4cc, that is the size of my band! my weight loss has been real slow so i know i have needed the fills, but now I am afraid is it going to burst, does anyone have the max in there band or has more in it? I emailed the OCC today to see what the say but i am a bit worried. Will i be able to lose weight if I need another fill. I think i am pretty close to my sweet spot, because i did feel a big difference from the 4th fill, but I guess I am scared......
dejongshy Posted June 5, 2009 Report Posted June 5, 2009 I'm at the same spot. But I am thinking that I might get a small unfill because I have PB'ed 1 time each day since my fill. Not sure if I should stick it out or if that is an exceptable amount of PB's per day... I just don't want to have a slippage... Let me know what the OCC says... Shy

We started off pretty close in weight, I was 203 on surgery day, now I am at 188, you have done so good, I am hoping this fill will do it..... I have a ways to go till 1st goal.

I think i am pretty close to my sweet spot, because i did feel a big difference from the 4th fill, but I guess I am scared...... a 4.0cc band can hold up to 6 cc, but RARELY do they ever go above 5.0cc (not usually recommended) The most fill I had before getting an unfill to go overseas was 4.2cc - this was a great sweet spot for me. I just had another fill and am now at 3.9cc and doing great. I have lost 25 lbs since the 4.2 was in, so I think I am back at my sweet spot again

My surgery was 11 months ago, I would have liked to have been at my goal weight of 155 by now but I am close.... I couldn't get a fill durning the winter months because of the weather and long drive over a pass. So I am finally happy but alittle worried that I might be too tight. The thing I love is that I am not hungry, even when I eat very very little. It is such a great feeling to not have food control my life. Shy

Let me know what the OCC says...Shy OCC wrote back but really did not say much other than they recommend going to see them if i can get food and water down ok thenh it is not so urgent. I dont know yet im on liquids today but they did not comment on how much the band could hold. I guess i need to plan a trip to TJ just to be on the safe side
