I had surgery 3/5/10 and on my first post op visit I asked the nurse what size band the surgeon had put in (the surgeon had said that he would put in the size that he felt was better for me at the time of the surgery). She told me the standard 10cc band. I then had 2 fills (5cc's total) and today went in for my 3RD fill. The nurse practioner put in the needle, drew back the 5cc's and then said that she wanted to check what size band I had put in. I asked why and she said if my band was half filled when she inserted the needle in the port she would expect some initial flashback, but didn't get it. So she went back into the operative notes and it stated that my MD had put in a 15cc band. The person who entered it into the computer had entered it incorrectly! Well - it makes me now understand why I didn't have restriction. The nurse practioner thinks that I will feel quite a bit now, and will probably be at my sweet spot after one more fill!
