Went yesterday to the dr and was given another 4ccs, this time I feel restriction...I go back in 4 weeks for another fill.

The band is 11ccs but the dr said she has gone up to 13ccs if needed.

Everyones body is different. I got my 1st fill last Monday and was given 5ccs, I felt nothing so the dr asked me to come back today and was given another 4ccs, now I can feel a difference. I had surgery done 9/4, it hasn't ever been a month yet and I am up to 9ccs and I'm feel just fine. No complains!

Had my 1st fill last week which was 3 weeks post op. The dr put in 5ccs but as the days went on, I noticed no changes on the way I felt. I called the dr last Friday and was asked to come in today. The dr stated there was fluid in the port but said the opening was still to wide so she injected another 4ccs and now I can feel the restriction. I'm a happy bandster!!!

I had 5ccs put in last week and don't feel any different. I called the dr and go back tomorrow morning to check up on it.

My 1st fill was 5ccs and feels no different.

I go back in 4 weeks, but the max my band can take is 9ccs so I am hoping to get some restriction soon.

It doesn't even do that, I am hungry all the time and could eat alot more but I control my portion sizes, after 30 minutes or so I am hungry again.

Had my 1st fill yesterday and was given 5ccs and I feel no different, food and water go down the same way as if I didn't have the band. No restriction whatsoever.

Humm, not sure but I guess the dr wouldn't do them if it was. The band can only so much so their will have to be a stopping point. Most of all if you feel fine then it should be ok. I got 5ccs today for my 1st fill and my band can hold a max of 9ccs, go back in 4 weeks for another fill but will probably be 1cc or so.

Yes, caught a bacteria infection at the port site but under the skin so there was nothing I could do. I got my 1st fill today and realized there was still some drainage but the dr said that will dry up on it's own.
