Should I be concerned?

Three weeks ago I got my first fill - 4 cc. Today I went for my second fill and the Dr. could extract only 3.2 cc. Is this normal or should I be concerned about a leak?

    Some may have been in the tubing still.

    Usually for me since I have gotten my first fill and all other fills after that about .5cc is missing each time. Since your doctor is not sucking the band dry when taking out your fill, the missing amount is most likely just sitting in the band tubing.

    If you are concerned and this amount increases with every fill, talk with your doctor.

    According to my fill doctor that is perfectly normal.
