So I went about 6 weeks post-surgery before my first fill. I lost about 20 lbs. before surgery but nothing in the 6 weeks since. Of course there was no restriction at all and I maintained the loss through willpower.

I have the large size lapband. The surgeon said I had .8 cc's already in it and he added 6 more after the Water drinking test during my first fill last thursday. I'm now feeling a little help from the band but can still eat an almost normal sized plate of food but maybe half of what i used to. It does feel like i can go hours between meals without getting hungry though. My next fill is about 3 weeks away.

Does all of this sound pretty typical?

I have a 14cc band as well. My first fill was 5.5cc's and it was fine for about 10 days and then I was hungry again. I went back in and he put in another 2.3 cc's and it's worked for the last three weeks. I go in next Friday, and I'm planning on getting another fill, probably at least 1cc. I'm now going in every 2 weeks until the weight starts dropping again - I've been maintaining the same weight for about 2 weeks so I know it's time for another one.
