My second fill is scheduled for Oct 4th, as my Dr wont do them but every 4 weeks

I go for my first fill on Sept 28th. I have been losing pretty good so the Dr, wanteed to see how I did on solid food. I am a little nervous but also excited.

I have an appointment on the 6th.. they put 4cc in the first visit. I am feeling pretty good. I don't have trouble with any foods and never feel really "full" but I feel great and have been losing regularly. Are you all planning on getting the second fill? I was thinking of waiting since the weight is coming off..

I had my first fill 20th. I have 2.8cc in my 10cc band. My next fill is Oct 11th. I can't wait I still feel like I can eat anything.

I had my surgery Aug. 19, and just this last Friday 9/24 had my first fill, 1.6cc is what I had put in, and that was enough to notice a difference, so far I'm down 23lbs.

I haven't even had my first yet. I'm jealous. My first fill is Oct. 3rd.

I'm hopefully getting my first fill Oct 19th. My surgeon won't do fills until 8 weeks post op. I haven't lost in over a week and also feel I can eat anything.

I just recieved my first fill today and my surgeon put in 2cc's. My surgery was 8/11/11. He also advised that if I feel that I need another fill call the office in a month and schedule an appointment. I see now that my surgeon is a slow boogey type of guy.

Have had 2 fills and a 3rd is scheduled for 10/19. My surgery was 8/4. I definately noticed the difference after the 2nd fill. I have a 10cc band and currently have 4 cc's in fills (2 each fill). Doctor is pleased as I have now lost 40 pounds.

My first fill will be in a bit over a week. I'm maintaining a loss of 35 lbs. but not losing. I can eat nothing right now, but I've managed to keep with the rules pretty well.

Surgery was 8/12--14cc band with 5cc. 1st fill was 9/12, 3cc (total of 8cc). 2nd fill 9/28 of 2cc (total of 10cc) I still do not feel any restriction. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm...

What is the liquid capacity a band can hold?? 10cc's? I now have 3 cc's and I go back in 4 weeks. If I am losing weight I dont know if my doctor will give me a fill. He thinks all is good if the weight is coming off!

It depends there are many volumes, I know mine is a 11 cc band

I was scheduled for my first fill today & discussed it with the Dr that I didn't feel I needed one. He agreed since I have been consistent with my weight loss & to come back in 4 weeks. I'm wanting to hold out as long as I can since I'm currently satisfied with my progress. I do have some restriction in my 14 cc band without any fills. I call it my leash because it definitely will rein me back in if I go too far.
