First Fill

So I had my first fill on Saturday. He put 4.5 in....first he put 5 but the water kept getting stuck. Is 4.5 a normal fill? I was on liquids Sat and Sun and I am on mushies today and tomorrow. Anyway, just wanted to make sure on the fill amount.

What I have seen is it depends on the doctor and individual. Every two weeks I have been going to the doc getting 2 cc's per visit, three so far. Next month will go for my 4th. My experience was a gradual one with the FILL'S. One fill in your case may last a long time, and time will tell. Good luck.

On liquids, maybe mushies tomorrow. I have journaled amts of liquids, proteins, carbs, and calories. Stuck to the diet but have ONLY lost 6 lbs since surg ., 2 weeks.:wub: Calories per day 400's-800's. Cant't believe I haven't lost more than this. Am I just impatient?

WOW..it seems my Dr is real coservative then.

My first fill i got 3 cc 2nd fill got 1cc 3rd fill got 1cc. that has been in the last 6 months. Maybe i should ask him to kick it up a noch since i have no real restriction..

My first was 4.4..in a 14 cc band (second was 2.1, I think, and third was 1.4 which now has me EXTREMELY tight). It varies a lot from surgeon to surgeon as well as from patient to patient.
