Who gets 1/8cc in their band? ♪♫?*♪

I'll tell you who.... ME!!! WTF is that about?!?!? ohmy.gif

I had my 3rd fill this past friday and when I heard that only 1/8 of a CC was put in I was so freaking confused. blink.gif

So now I have a total of 6.43 CCs in my band...Uuuummmmm, yea, thats Crazy!!!!! When I questioned this I was told that some people are just more sensitive to fills. Really?! I must be pretty damn sensitive then... unsure.gif

Is anyone going through a similar situation?

I know a .25 put me over the edge..and at that time we realize that my band was very sensitive as well. It can be a good thing! It allowed me to find my sweet spot quickly and I didn't need any more fills after that...actually I only needed to unfills. So I would take it as a positive!! Take care.

Wow... you know what? I never looked at it that way. I feel so much better about it now!!! :D

I really didn't understand how the heck it would make a difference but I really do feel the restriction and that "full" feeling lasts a lot longer than before.

Thanks!!!! :lol:

I had two fills in a row where I only got 1/10th of a cc. Each time it was perfect. Just a few drops can make a HUGE difference!!

My first fill I had 1cc and my 2nd only 1/4cc. They know what they are doing and if you don't feel restricted enough, make another appointment. The best of luck to you what ever you decide to do.

I really think that I need a smaller fill. Every time I go for a fill I have to go back and get it taken out because of getting sick. He usually puts in 1cc. The last time I had a fill was 8/27/10 and he had to take it out the following two days. Yesterday I got .5cc and felt fine. I drank water in his office. Now today I have only drank two sips of water and have already gotten sick three times. I am so frustrated because I am not losing but I think next time I will ask him to only put in a small amount.
