Fills are really something that depends on the person. Some people have lots tons of weight with no fill. Some people are all the way up almost to the max. It's all about working with your doctor to find out what works for you.

I'm at 1.2ccs personally. I'd gone up a little bit but was overfilled and miserable. So 1.2 works for me. I have a friend who still has none and she was banded after me and has lost more weight.

I am at 1.6 in a 4cc band. I was overfilled at 2.0 but just removing .4 was a major relief. It also depends on the size of the band, different bands hold different amounts of saline. ~Mandy

Flower, nothing personal, but your questions are always so vague. In what context are you asking for the "average" fill? Do you mean the first fill? Total fill? Tweak? In what size band?

In any event, the answer is there is no "average" fill. It all depends on what is right for the person at the time.

How many band sizes are there? i have 6cc in a 11cc band. i know there is a 4cc and a 7 cc. what is the max in a 11 cc - does that mean it holds 11cc and what if you dont have restriciton at 11 cc then do you get a smaller band? i ask my doc if i would have to have a smaller band later and he sd no
