I got my first fill today. my doctor said my band holds a max of 10 CCs. Today he gave me 4 CCs.

What concerns me is that he said wants me to come back in a few weeks for 1 more CC and then again in another few for an addtional 1 CC=a total of 6CCs. IN TOTAL, He wants to stop fills after 6CCs.

This concerns me because I just read another person's thread where she said she STARTER at 6CCs and just got 4 more? it seems like alot of people have said they are up to 8ccs at least?

what is the average amount? or where did u feel adequate restriction?

THANKS!

after that fill that brought mt to 5.5 i did liquid for 2 days and musie for 2 days , it was all good.

I had this fill on tursday, I am still doing liquid however i had a little bit of chili last night but it was mostly the liquid part - i ate maybe 1 /4 cup and was full - there was a little discomfort as soon as i swallowed and i felt it stop in the middle of my chest but it went away pretty quickly and about 2 hrs later i was able to eat a rice cake - had the same discomfort but it went away .

right after the fill i was able to drink the water they gave me but it took about 45 min.

I have a 14 cc band, and started with nothing. 6 weeks after surgery I got 3 cc, then 1.5, then 1, and incremental (not more than .5, mostly .1) at a time and am at 6.7cc. I've requested no fill twice, but each time after awhile it does seem to get looser...so will get another this week.

I had my surgery November 13, 2009. I had 1cc put in. Since then I've had 3 fills. So I have a total of 5 cc's. Tuesday I'm going into the surgeon again and possibly getting another CC or maybe just 1/2 a CC. We shall see.

AS FAR AS RESTRICTION - I do have a pretty good amount of restriction. I CAN'T EAT bread, heavy Pasta, rice and tortilla wraps. ~ Which I consider a good thing.

Lately I've been eating a lot of salads. I've had many situations where I did get food stuck and had to throw it up. (Which they call a PB I guess.)

I think it depends on the person and how much their band will hold.

Jessica... Just curious... But if you have had many situations where you have thrown up why get another fill so soon.... I'm not being mean just worry that you are putting yourself at risk for complications with being too tight or throwing up too much.

I want to clarify that I only have thrown up because I was stupid and tried to eat foods that I know now that I can't eat such as bread, pasta, rice, etc. Everything else I eat now WHICH I AVOID BREADS I don't have a problem with. I make sure that I only have about a cup of food, and don't just eat until I'm full. Most of the bad situations I had where I threw up where back in December when I had a fill for about a month and I was just testing things out.

I think that Tuesday I'm probably only going to get half a CC because I'm ALMOST at my "sweet spot".

Hi, I have 4 CC in a 10 CC band - and have no restriction what so ever - Sandwich's / chunks of meat , Sushi etc etc not a problem to swallow.

Had my first fill (2 CC) in June, My second fill (2CC) Sept.

Am going in for a fill on Wednesday! Excited and nervous at the same time!!!

I was banded on 1/4 (with no cc's). I had my first fill on Friday (2/5) of 3cc's in a 10cc band. They wanted to put 4 in but it was too tight for me. I am also testing to see what things I can and can't eat with the band since it is my first fill. I have also learned that I can't do breads, rice, Pasta, ect as it will get stuck and come rigth back up.

The doctor doesn't want me to come back for my second fill for at least a month. I hope to lose some weight in the meantime.
