Avg # of fills under Fluoroscopaty

Hey guys I will be having my first fill under fluoroscopaty. I'm not scheduled till mid Dec which is a bummer. I am soo hungry lately. I'm sticking with the program, but hoping the fill will make things easier. I was wondering how many fills it took some of you to get to your sweet spot if you used fluroscopaty.

My first fill was the only one done under fluoro - the rest have been just numb, push, fill (no problems). It took about 5 fills to reach my "sweet" spot.

However, I got my first fill 4 weeks post surgery - 4 weeks between every time.

I had my first and so far only fill under Fluro....I dont know if I'm at my sweet spot but I feel satisfied after about 1 cup of food and stay satisfied for about 3 hours...If that's the sweet spot then I suppose I have it and only had one fill... but then again I have the small 4cc band and am at a fill of 3cc's.

Thank you guys. I so hope it helps. I have felt great since surgery. Really not hungry. Now though I am starving and don't get a fill until Dec 13. Did your first one help even if you didn't get to your sweet spot?

I have not had any of my fills under Fluro but I have had three so far which has brought me to 5.66cc's in my band and I feel pretty good right now and the last visit my dr. said I don't really need anymore at this time b/c I seem to be losing on a good pace....

I am 15 months post op and all 4 of my fills have been with floro. I only have 3.8 ccs but could not take anymore. I had one unfill of .2cc about 1 month ago. I have not had hunger since my first fill.
