How much of an adjustment can make a difference?

At 5.75 cc I can still eat too much.
At 6.00 cc, I am PBing, have a lot of burping and gurgling sounds.

Would an adjustment of removing 0.10 or 0.15 be possible and if so, can you tell a difference with such a small adjustment?

Thanks!

YES. Though I speak not from experience, just anecdotally from other members here on OH. I have been fortunate not to need an unfill. I PB sometimes but only when I'm forgetful and eat too fast.

5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.

Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since

last small unfill.

I can tell you one tenth of a cc made all the difference for me. Sometimes all it takes is a little tweak. Good luck.

What is PB'ing? I have not had my first fill yet and reading about all these issues is making me wonder about if this was the right choice. Of course it was! I hope....I am struggling.

PBing is when you can't keep food down, it comes back up.

By the way, I went to dr. and got a tiny unfill and feel so much better!!!
