Fills with the SAGB

If you have the swedish band (SAGB), can you tell me how many cc's the doctor put in yours on your 1st fill? and how many cc's for each fill thereafter?

Hi

I have an AMI swedish band.

1st fill at 6 weeks out at 1.75cc's.

2nd fill at 14 weeks, total at 3.5 cc's.

Swedish bands are known to hold more solution.

Hiya

I've got the SAGB. My 1st fill was 4mls and my 2nd another 1.5mls

Haven't reached my sweet spot yet so I'm off for another on 11th Feb.

The SAGB holds quite a lot, up to 11mls. I know some people who have good restriction with 4mls and others who have 8mls, I guess it all depends on the individual.

I've got the SAGB too. I've had two fills and I'm at 4 cc's. But, I'm not restricted very much- that isn't to say that certain things like raw broccoli and some breads don't get stuck nicely. I'm going in for another fill on Feb. 13th. I'm a little nervous about it because I am already sad that I can't eat all that I want- I"m definitely mourning food these days. It may be because I just got back from Las Vegas and there were some pretty awesome buffets there that I didn't even make a dent in :-). But, I did get to try everything and I know- and can feel- that food will slowly become less important. Right now, though...I'm not loosing and I get hungry pretty quickly- so in that respect- I can't wait for the fill.
